A Study on Large Volume Processing

An optimization of medial voxel extraction from volume data

Abstract

We present a medial voxel extraction method from large volumetric models. Based on the prior report, we optimize the method as follows. First, we combined pseudo-geodesic-based evaluation and correct-geodesic-based method. Second, we optimize bounding boxes to compute correct geodesic distance as tight as possible. As a result, we can compute medial voxels from large scanned engineering objects in practical time.
