Esqueletos de Objetos Volumétricos

Skeletons of graphical objects are powerful tools that represent the object in a simple and efficient way. Volumetric objects are represented by a large quantity of information. Skeleton extraction, among other applications, can be used to calculate a compact representation of volumetric objects. This work presents a general framework of the main techniques used to compute skeletons of volumetric data. We will discuss the main problems and the different solution approaches.
