| | 3 | The "auto" skeletonization method appears to take a threshold as an input. This threshold seems to 'mask' (or 'segment') the data so to only look at voxels with values above this threshold. It then does a 'centerline' analysis, a 'distance map' analysis, and finally a 'thinning' of the skeleton so that it is only 1 voxel across. To see the paper on this algorithm, it is attached to this page. It is also possible to do these 3 steps on your own in Amira, and thus gain more control over the skeletonization process. |

| | 5 | Here are some results testing different thresholds in auto skeletonization mode, and comparing them to Federrath's figure (the paper that contains this figure is attached to this page). |
