Figure 1

An illustration of a vessel model. It is assumed that the model has a cylindrical shape with a 2D Gaussian-like intensity distribution at each cross section. The arrows show the eigenvectors of a Hessian matrix at the center. The length of the arrows represents the absolute value of corresponding eigenvalues.
