No, there isn't. <br><br>However you may wish to check out VMTK (<a href="http://www.vmtk.org">www.vmtk.org</a>). Its based on VTK and ITK and you should be able to generate the medial axis of a 3D point set using this. Now, the method is restricted to applications in vascular analysis etc, in that its restricted to single branch of a vessel, since it requires you to define the starting and ending point of the medial line. It then runs fast marching on the voronoi faces of the delaunay 3D tessellation of your point set to generate the medial line. The mesh connectivity/ topology is ignored. For a dense enough mesh, this should not matter.<br>
<br>You'll need python and linux.<br><br>HTH<br>--<br>karthik<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 10:05 AM, Yogish Mallya <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mallyayogish@yahoo.co.in">mallyayogish@yahoo.co.in</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>Dear All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is there a ITK filter for generating medial axis of the 3D triangular Mesh ?</div>
