Curve-skeletons of 3D objects
Paper
Curve-skeletons are one dimensional (1D) abstractions of 3D objects.
These simplified representations are useful in a variety of
applications in visualization and graphics.
Below we give several examples of curve-skeletons obtained using four
different curve-skeletonization algorithm classes:
- Thinning
- Distance field based
- Geometric (Reeb graph based)
- Potential field based
