Spatiotemporal contour interpolation in four dimensions

Classification images reveal spatiotemporal contour interpolation

Contour interpolation is the process whereby spatially separated object fragments (inducers) are connected on the basis of their contour relations. An important characteristic of interpolation between simultaneously presented inducers is that observers rely on interpolation regions to perform a discrimination task. However, it is unclear if the same property holds when inducers are separated in...

Spatiotemporal Contour Tracking of Microtubules

Microtubules (MTs), one of three major cytoskeletal components, serve numerous critical functions in cells. Mechanistically, MTs are not static polymers; rather, they can be very dynamic and their precise patterns of growing and shortening behaviors are critical to their many functions. Among the challenges confronting modern molecular cell biology is to accurately and thoroughly quantify the d...

Contour interpolation by straight skeletons

In this paper we present an efficient method for interpolating a piecewise-linear surface between two parallel slices, each consisting of an arbitrary number of (possibly nested) polygons that define ‘material’ and ‘non-material’ regions. This problem has applications to medical imaging, geographic information systems, etc. Our method is fully automatic and is guaranteed to produce non-self-int...
