[vtkusers] Skeleton of 3D Images

[Flo]

Hi Enkelejda,

There is a basic on in ITK (for exact medial surfaces skeletons).  
Also a new submission to the insight journal which does the  
Centerline (Medial Axis) - http://www.insight-journal.org/dspace/ 
handle/1926/560

Beside that, you're on your own for I searched a lot but did not find  
anything interesting in both ITK/VTK.

HTH.
FLo.
