Skeleton is a shape descriptor which summarizes the general formof objects. It can be expressed in terms of the fundamental morphological operations. The limitation of that characterization is that its construction based on digital disks such that cannot provide good approximation to the Euclidean disks. In this paper we define a new type of skeleton based on neighborhood sequences that is much closer to the Euclidean skeleton. A novel method for quantitative comparison of skeletonization algorithms is also proposed. {\textcopyright} 2008 Springer- Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Different strategies are included to handle images where only part of the spinal column is visible. The algorithms require one seed point given on a slice located in the middle region of the spine, and the rest is automatic. The spatial extent of the spinal cord/canal is determined automatically using anatomical information for segmenting the spinal canal while active contours are applied if the spinal cord is to be segmented. Both methods work in 2D and use propagated information from neighboring slices. They are also very rapid in execution, that means an efficient, user-friendly workflow. The methods were evaluated by radiologists and were found to be useful and met the accuracy and repeatability requirements for the particular task. } } @inbook {1276, title = {Shape Moments for Region Based Active Contours}, booktitle = {Joint Hungarian-Austrian conference on image processing and pattern recognition. 5th conference of the Hungarian Association for Image Processing and Pattern Recognition (K{\'E}PAF), 29th workshop of the Austrian Association for Pattern Reco}, year = {2005}, month = {2005///}, pages = {187 - 194}, publisher = {OCG}, organization = {OCG}, address = {Vienna} } @inbook {1277, title = {Video Object Segmentation Using a Multicue Markovian Model}, booktitle = {Joint Hungarian-Austrian conference on image processing and pattern recognition. 5th conference of the Hungarian Association for Image Processing and Pattern Recognition (K{\'E}PAF), 29th workshop of the Austrian Association for Pattern Reco}, year = {2005}, month = {2005///}, pages = {111 - 118}, publisher = {OCG}, organization = {OCG}, address = {Vienna} }
