Quantifying Geomorphic Features: Relative Albedos, Skeletonization, and Multifractality
The qualitative and quantitative components of geomorphology are both essential, and complementary, modes of investigation. In the present work, I present three studies that each illustrate a different relationship between these two vital components. In a case study of transient, relatively dark …

Automatic skeletonization and skin attachment for realistic character animation.
… this research we are concerned with two of them: skeletonization and weight assignment for skin deformation. The fonner is to generate a skeleton, which is placed within the character model and links the motion data to the skin shape of the character. The latter assists the modelling of realistic …

Prediction of stream channel location from drainage basin boundaries
… processing algorithms, known as 2-dimensional skeletonization algorithms, reduce a planar shape to a one-dimensional, connected, graph-like structure, called a skeleton, that maintains significant information about the properties of the original shape. The morphological similarity between the …

Chlorine dioxide and by-products in water distribution systems
… to 0.3 mg/L. The effects of distribution systems skeletonization in constituent transport modeling are also presented. Skeletonization does not affect significantly computed times of travel when the median percentage of constituent has to be detected. However, depending on the layout of each …

Defining Postmortem Changes in Western Montana: The Effects of Climate and Environment on the Rate and Sequence of Decomposition Using Pig (Sus scrofa) Cadavers
… reached complete mummification, never achieving skeletonization by the end of the study. The overall purpose of this study is to contribute to building a baseline data set for documenting decomposition in western Montana’s highly variable and unpredictable weather.

Automated cartographic generalization with a triangulated spatial model
… simplification of building outlines and skeletonization. Algorithms for many of these operators have been implemented while others are proposed. Pseudo-code and descriptions are used to document many of these operators, results are given and discussed.<br/><br/>A frame-based architecture …

Microbial succession in human rib skeletal remains and fly-human microbial transfer during decomposition
… early decomposition, advanced decomposition, and skeletonization stages. The microbial communities that facilitate decomposition change in a predictable, clock-like manner, which can be used as a forensic tool for estimating postmortem interval. Chapter 1 introduces this concept by describing the …

Extraction of physically-realistic pore network properties from three-dimensional synchrotron microtomography images of unconsolidated porous media
… algorithms are based on the three-dimensional skeletonization of the pore space in the form of nodes connected to paths. Dilation algorithms were developed to generate inscribed spheres on the nodes and paths of the medial axis to represent pore-bodies and pore-throats of the network, …

Nailfold capillary loop shape analysis and classification by using image processing and pattern recognition techniques.
… By the use of mathematical morphology, skeletonization, topological relations, feature vectors, in an hierarchical structure, the software TANCCAS (The Automated Nailfold Capillary Classification and Analysis System) has been developed to calculate the shape parameters and to classify …

Skeleton-based visualization of massive voxel objects with network-like architecture
This work introduces novel internal and external memory algorithms for computing voxel skeletons of massive voxel objects with complex network-like architecture and for converting these voxel skeletons to piecewise linear geometry, that is triangle meshes and piecewise straight lines. The presented …
