Abstract
Delineation of curvilinear structures is a popular direction of research in computer vision since such structures are used in many real world problems like biomedical image analysis. The idea is to find centerlines of the desired structures in a given image while preserving the overall topology of the structure. In this proposal, we analyzed three works that are related to this problem. We presented the problems they solved, the methods they used, results of the works and how we can integrate these work to our research. The first paper focuses on an end-to-end 3D convolutional network to produce individual segments. The second paper is a survey paper on deformable models, their extensions and applications. The third paper is on a new method on unsupervised reconstruction of 3D point clouds. Finally, we talked about our current research, and future plans and discussed how to use these papers to improve our research to obtain topologically better capture of curvilinear structures.
