Abstract

Advances in sensor and computer technology are resulting in an increased use of three-dimensional images in applications such as medical diagnosis, video understanding, and fluid dynamics. In these applications, each gray level represents certain relevant property associated with the location (i, j, k) in the modeled three-dimensional world. The ability to detect features and/or track them over time is the ultimate goal in the automatic analysis of these images.
