LOCAL GEOMETRICAL ANALYSIS OF 3D POROUS NETWORKS BASED ON THE MEDIAL AXIS: APPLICATION TO BONE MICROARCHITECTURE MICROTOMOGRAPHY IMAGES

This paper proposes a new method for local evaluation the geometry of complex 3D porous networks such as bone micro-architecture. The method described here allows local quantification of the geometry of the entire volume. It is well adapted to high resolution images where the voxel size is smaller t...
