Flow Reduction Marching Cubes Algorithm

چکیده
The article focuses on modification of traditional Marching cubes algorithm for medical applications. Main disadvantage of the traditional algorithm is size of models. A reduction process has been added to the MC to produce much smaller models. The reduction process is applied during the MC, after processing of each input data layer. Resulting models are 4-5 times smaller in only doubled time.

Edge Flows: Stratified Morse Theory for Simple, Correct Isosurface Extraction
We present a method to characterize the topology of the level sets of trilinearly interpolated scalar fields. Our characterization is based on Morse theory, and in particular a variant called Stratified Morse theory capable of treating the piecewise-smooth aspect of trilinear interpolation. Algorithms such as Marching Cubes generate approximations to these level sets to a varying degree of fide...
متن کاملAutomatic Map Creation For Environment Modelling In Robotic Simulators
This paper presents an approach to automatically create polygonal maps for environment modeling in simulators based on 3D point cloud data gathered from 3D sensors like laser scanners or RGB-D cameras. The input point clouds are polygonalized using a modified Marching Cubes algorithm and optimized using a pipeline of mesh reduction and filtering steps. Optionally color information from the poin...
متن کاملQuality Isosurface Mesh Generation Using an Extended Marching Cubes Lookup Table
The Marching Cubes Algorithm may return degenerate, zero area isosurface triangles, and often returns isosurface triangles with small areas, edges or angles. We show how to avoid both problems using an extended Marching Cubes lookup table. As opposed to the conventional Marching Cubes lookup table, the extended lookup table differentiates scalar values equal to the isovalue from scalar values g...
متن کاملSurface Construction Analysis using Marching Cubes
This paper presents an analysis of the algorithms used for generating 3D structures from 2D CT-Scan Datasets. This is achieved by developing an implementation of Marching Cubes, a surface construction algorithm that’s currently the standard used for 3D surface construction in the medical visualization industry.
متن کاملCubical Marching Squares: Adaptive Feature Preserving Surface Extraction from Volume Data
In this paper, we present a new method for surface extraction from volume data which preserves sharp features, maintains consistent topology and generates surface adaptively without crack patching. Our approach is based on the marching cubes algorithm, a popular method to convert volumetric data to polygonal meshes. The original marching cubes algorithm suffers from problems of topological inco...
