title = "Feature-preserving medial axis noise removal",
abstract = "This paper presents a novel technique for medial axis noise removal. The method introduced removes the branches generated by noise on an object{\textquoteright}s boundary without losing the fine features that are often altered or destroyed by current pruning methods. The algorithm consists of an intuitive threshold-based pruning process, followed by an automatic feature reconstruction phase that effectively recovers lost details without reintroducing noise. The result is a technique that is robust and easy to use. Tests show that the method works well on a variety of objects with significant differences in shape complexity, topology and noise characteristics.",
