Semi-Automatic Shape Extraction from Tube-like Geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
Although the principle of using x-rays for diagnostic imaging has been known for a long time, there is still a lot of research and improvements going on in the field. One recent addition to the neuro-vascular imaging system—used for visualizing blood vessels in the brain and guidance of interventions—is 3D rotational angiography (3D-RA). Using 3D-RA, it is possible to view the vessel tree in 3D. Traditionally, 3D information could only be obtained with dedicated tube-shaped MR and CT scanners that are not available in the intervention room. With 3DRA, the 3D images can be generated in the intervention room, without moving the patient to and from the CT scanner. Also, the spatial resolution is better than that of MR and CT scanners.

Fully-Automatic Branch Labelling of Voxel Vessel Structures
Today, it is possible to acquire volume representations of the vessel structures in the brain. The selfadjusting probe, a new tool introduced in a previous paper, enables semi-automatic shape extraction. The self-adjusting probe extracts shapes from a surface model. Yet, if two vessel branches are close together, it is possible that surface vertices of a neighbor vessel are included in the set ...

A Semi-Automatic Building Extraction system using two or more digitized overlapping aerial images has been enhanced by increased automation for the measurement of saddle-back-roof buildings, hip-roof buildings and boxes. All newly developed modules have been incorporated in the object oriented design of the system. The new methods consist of a ground-point and roof-top matching tool and a robus...
متن کاملSemi-Automated As-Built Modeling of Light Rail System Guide Beams
For a light rail system, smooth contact between the vehicle and the guide beam is critical for reducing the friction and the vibration of an operating vehicle. Therefore, the shape of guide beams needs to be controlled with mm-level accuracy during the construction. Currently, most methods for detecting shape defects of guide beams, such as experimental run of vehicles, are costly and tedious. ...
متن کاملAnimated 3D Creatures from Single-view Video by Skeletal Sketching
Extraction of deformable 3D geometry is not accessible to casual users, as it either requires dedicated hardware or vast manual effort. Inspired by the recent success of semi-automatic 3D reconstruction from a single image, we introduce a sketch-based extraction technique that allows a fast reconstruction of a dynamic articulated shape from a single video. We model the shape as a union of gener...
متن کاملObject-oriented Modeling for the Extraction of Geometry, Texture and Reflectance from Digital Images
A semi-automatic system for extracting topographic features is being migrated to an object-oriented design for better maintainability. For that purpose an object-oriented model of the extracted objects and the extraction methods is required. Moreover an appropriate software component model for the exchange with other systems is needed. We have modeled a class hierarchy for objects, that can be ...
