Code for Skeleton Extraction

The code for Curve Skeleton Extraction via k–Nearest–Neighbors Based Contraction

Usage

Dev Environment:

• Java 8
• Maven

Run:

mvn clean compile assembly:single 
cd target
java -jar .\mpp-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar

If everything goes well, you will see:

Click ... button to import point cloud(ply format is ok), then click Run button to start the skeletonization process.

We use Java3d to visualize the point clouds and the skeletons. Because Java3d has been unmaintained for a long time, this program may not work on some operating systems.
