Final note, we also presented one incoming innovative tool for the 3D decomposition and analysis of the branches of corals. A cute mesh-processing problem mixing skeletonization, pruning, and clipping that will be integrated in MeshLab...

Great post from the nervous systems guys!
Two small additional notes:
- Anisotropic CVD's beside being nice, are also quite interesting from a structural point of view vcg.isti.cnr.it/publication/...
- to actually generate nicer decompositions it is useful to add a further shape optimization step
