Extension Description

This extension is an open source tool to initialize, refine and visualize skeletal representation (abbreviated as s-rep) of 3D objects in biomedical images. The main features of this extension include:

  • Initialize an s-rep by mean curvature flow of an object boundary
  • Refine an s-rep to fit an object boundary
  • Visualize the s-rep

S-reps have a number of advantages in shape analysis of human organs. Some previous research has shown the superiority of using s-reps to perform hypothesis testing, classification and shape distribution analysis.

Modules

  • Skeletal Representation Initializer
  • Skeletal Representation Refiner
  • Skeletal Representation Visualizer

Use Cases
