چکیده

Three-dimensional visualization techniques are becoming an important tool for medical applications. Computer generated 3D reconstructions of the human skull are used to build stereolithographic models, which can be used to simulate surgery or to create individual implants. Anatomy-based three-dimensional models are used to simulate the physical behaviour of human organs. These 3D models are usually displayed by a polygonal description of their surface, which requires hundreds of thousands of polygons. For interactive applications this large number of polygons is a major obstacle. We have improved an adaptive compression algorithm that significantly reduces the number of triangles required to model complex objects without losing visible detail and have implemented it in our surgery simulation system. We present this algorithm using human skull and skin data and describe the efficiency of this new approach. Zusammenfassung: Computerbasierte dreidimensionale Visualisierungstechniken haben im letzten Jahrzehnt Einzug in die Medizin gehalten. Aus den computergenerierten dreidimensionalen Rekonstruktionen des Gesichtsschädels werden unter anderem mittels Stereolithographie reale Modelle erstellt, an denen geplante chirurgische Eingriffe simuliert werden können, oder aber die 3D-Rekonstruktionen dienen dazu, patientenangepaßte Implantate herzustellen. Die Geometrie solch komplexer 3D Modelle wird im allgemeinen mit Hilfe hunderttausender einzelner, planarer Polygone beschrieben. Eine interaktive Darstellung dieser Modelle ist oftmals nicht mehr möglich. In dieser Arbeit beschreiben wir ein erweitertes adaptives Verfahren zur signifikanten Reduzierung von Polygonoberflächen, ohne daß damit ein Detailverlust in der Darstellung verbunden ist. Dieses Reduzierungsverfahren wurde in ein Operationsplanungssystem integriert und umfassend verifiziert. An zwei medizinischen Datensätzen, der 3D Rekonstruktion der Hautoberfläche und des Gesichtsschädels, wird die Leistungsfähigkeit dieses neuen Verfahrens aufgezeigt.

Perception-driven adaptive compression of static triangle meshes

Mesh compression is an important task in geometry processing. It exploits geometric coherence of the data to reduce the amount of space needed to store a surfacemesh.Most techniques perform compression employing a uniform data quantization over the whole surface. Research in shape perception, however, suggests that there are parts of the mesh that are visually more relevant than others. We pres...

Extending the Radar Dynamic Range using Adaptive Pulse Compression

The matched filter in the radar receiver is only adapted to the transmitted signal version and its output will be wasted due to non-matching with the received signal from the environment. The sidelobes amplitude of the matched filter output in pulse compression radars are dependent on the transmitted coded waveforms that extended as much as the length of the code on both sides of the target loc...

Spatial data compression via adaptive dispersion clustering

In this article, we introduce a method of spatial data compression, which we call Adaptive Spatial Dispersion Clustering (ASDC). It is specifically designed to reduce the size of a spatial dataset in order to facilitate subsequent spatial prediction. Unlike with traditional data and image compression methods, the goal of ASDC is to create a new dataset that will be used as input into spatial pr...

Adaptive geometry compression based on 4-point interpolatory subdivision schemes with labels

We propose an adaptive geometry compression method with labels based on 4-point interpolatory subdivision schemes. It can work on digital curves of arbitrary dimensions. With the geometry compression method, a digital curve is adaptively compressed into several segments with different compression levels. Each segment is a 4-point subdivision curve with a subdivision step. Labels are recorded in...

Multi-resolution modeling, visualization and compression of volumetric data

Due to the increasing complexity of volume meshes produced in many applications, multiresolution representations, simplification and compression have become key technologies for achieving efficient storage together with interactive modeling and visualization performance. View-dependent adaptive approximations can be extracted from multi-resolution representations enabling real-time isosurfacing...
