Abstract

Rough 3D data images obtained by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imagery are inadequate: this paper proposes a high-level data structure called ellipsoidal skeleton. It is based on a tree of best partitions of the points set and features data compression, multi-level representation capabilities, surface reconstruction, interactive visualization, relevant parameters extraction, automatic matching and recognition.
