Extracting lines of maximal depth from MR images of the human brain
Gabriele Lohmann, F. Kruggel · 1996
This paper describes a new approach to the automatic detection of the bottom lines of the main cortical sulci using MR images of the human brain. The principle idea is to extract lines of maximal depth as measured from the smoothed brain surface. The main advantage of our approach over existing methods is that it is not based on curvature estimation. It is therefore much more robust and easier to implement.
