LocalThicknessMap3d
Computes a voxel-wise thickness of three-dimensional objects.
Access to parameter description
This algorithm assignes to each voxel a value representing the diameter of the largest ball containing the voxel and entirely inscribed in the object.
It starts by computing a Euclidean distance map inside the image objects. In a second step, the thickness map $T$ is initialized with the values of the distance map. For each voxel $v$, with distance map value $d(v)$, the ball $B$ centered on $v$ and with radius $R=d(v)$ is browsed. The thickness $T$ of these neighboring voxels $w$ is set to $max(T(w),R)$.
Finally, the thickness map is multiplied by 2 to obtain the largest ball diameter.

Note:
- Two modes of computation are available. The fast mode is especially useful when the input image contains some thick structures that are very long to compute. The resulting image is a bit less precise on the object borders. These artifacts are not damaging since the thickness measurement is generally not relevant on object borders.
- This algorithm does not take into account the input image calibration. The output values are systematically indicating diameter in voxel unit.
