Resumo

The most beautiful recognizable feature of the toco toucan is its large and colorful bill. Despite its importance, such as in feeding and acting as a thermal regulator, few systematic approaches have been proposed for characterizing its structural organization. A framework for identifying and characterizing the trabecular bone tissue located inside the bill is reported in this work. An image processing pipeline for segmenting the trabecular bones is proposed, followed by the derivation of a 3D coordinate system defined by the shape of the bill. These coordinates are then used for further characterization of the mass distribution inside the bill. (AU)
