Weighted distance transforms for volume images digitized in elongated voxel grids

Weighted distance transforms in volume (3D) images using a voxel grid with equal resolution along two axes and lower along the third are investigated. The weights (neighbour distances) in a local neighbourhood of size 3 × 3 × 3 are optimized by minimizing the maximum error in a cubic image.
