AverageSpaceThickness3d

Measures the separation thickness between structures inside the volume of interest of a three-dimensional binary image.

Access to parameter description

For an introduction: This algorithm estimates the thickness of the spaces contained in the binary input image.
Like the AverageObjectThickness3d algorithm, the structure separation thickness $Sp$ can be calculated with different models as follows: $$ Sp = Th\left(\frac{TV}{V}-1\right) $$ where Note: This module estimates the average thickness of spaces within bone morphology under the specific assumption of structure models. Different measurements of thickness exists, and a more direct approach is accessible with the LocalThicknessMap3d algorithm.
