3. Fig 2
A simplified two-dimensional (2D) example of the centerline extraction algorithm. A, A 2D representation of an edge-detected scan. The borders of the volume are marked. B, The distance transformation of the data in (A), note the pattern visible in the values; high numbers appear near the centerline. C, The gradient of the distance transformation. Note the arrows change direction at the centerline of the shape. D, Centerline identification. The value of the neighborwise dot product is shown with high values represented as dark shades of gray. Note that the lightest values are actually at the centerline. The identified centerline is the region marked with white.
