Title: Digital Flow for Grain Segmentation from 3D Microtomographic Images of Snow
Date: 2013-10-07
Authors: Xi Wang, Frédéric Flin, David Coeurjolly, Bernard Lesaffre
Description: We propose in this article a shape segmentation method for granular structures in 3D based on medial axis. We define a two-step algorithm: the first ...
