Surface Construction Analysis using Marching Cubes

چکیده
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.

Optimization Schemes for the Reversible Discrete Volume Polyhedrization Using Marching Cubes Simplification
The aim of this article is to present a reversible and topologically correct construction of a polyhedron from a binary object. The proposed algorithm is based on a Marching Cubes (MC) surface, a digital plane segmentation of the binary object surface and an optimization step to simplify the MC surface using the segmentation information.
متن کاملThe Mesh Propagation Algorithm for Isosurface Construction
A new algorithm, Mesh Propagation, is presented for the generation of isosurfaces from three-dimensional discrete data sets. While producing the same surface mesh as that generated by a corrected Marching Cubes algorithm, its characteristic is that it constructs an isosurface using connected strips of dynamically triangulated polygons. This compact data structure speeds up surface construction ...
متن کاملA New Marching Cubes Algorithm for Interactive Level Set with Application to MR Image Segmentation
In this paper we extend the classical marching cubes algorithm in computer graphics for isosurface polygonisation to make use of new developments in the sparse field level set method, which allows localised updates to the implicit level set surface. This is then applied to an example medical image analysis and visualisation problem, using user-guided intelligent agent swarms to correct holes in...
متن کاملA survey of the marching cubes algorithm
A survey of the development of the marching cubes algorithm [W. Lorensen, H. Cline, Marching cubes: a high resolution 3D surface construction algorithm. Computer Graphics 1987; 21(4):163–9], a well-known cell-by-cell method for extraction of isosurfaces from scalar volumetric data sets, is presented. The paper’s primary aim is to survey the development of the algorithm and its computational pro...
متن کاملBuilding 3D Graphical Models of Complex Objects
A system is presented for the automated reconstruction of complete 3D models of arbitrarily shaped objects from multiple 2.5D range images. The system enables reliable reconstruction of 3D models of complex objects. This is achieved without a priori knowledge about the object to be modelled. Potential application domains include reverse engineering of 3D models for graphics and CAD. Geometric f...
