v3prune − Remove short lines from a binary line image

v3prune if=infile of=ofile [-sm] [ws=<value>] [-v]

V3prune implements a three-dimensional line pruning algorithm. The program removes segments from a three-dimensional line representation which are less than length "n". The program operates as follows. Three- dimensional endpoints are located and traversed until a termination point is met (endpoint or junction). If the segment is less than length "n" it is removed otherwise it is left untouched.

Only unsigned byte images are accepted for input. For each pixel zero is considered to be "false" and any other value is considered to be "true".

if=<value>

input 3D image or image sequence.

of=<value>

output 3D image of the pruning algorithm.

n=<value>

maximum length of segments for removal.

-v

Verbose flag
