Volume Morphing Methods for Landmark Based 3d Image Deformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Volume morphing is a technique used for generating smooth 3D image transformations and deformations. In this paper, several algorithms are developed for morphing transformations that create new forms and simulate shape deformation and growth in biomedical applications. 3D biological point landmarks and their movements are deened to guide the morphing transformation using a scattered data interpolation algorithm. Two types of morphing algorithms, the Shepard-based interpolation and the radial basis function approach, are investigated in detail and applied for volume morphing in growth predictions of children and shape transformations between species.

Volume morphing and rendering - An integrated approach
In this paper, we first introduce a 3D morphing method for landmark-based volume deformation, using various scattered data interpolation schemes. Qualitative and speed comparisons are also made for different interpolation schemes. To efficiently render the volume morphing process, a new deformable volume rendering algorithm is presented. The algorithm renders the deformed volume directly withou...
متن کاملClassification and Volume Morphing for Performance-driven Facial Animation
We present a new facial animation approach that produces a wide variety of realistic facial expressions with advantages over existing geometry deformation and morphing methods for performance-driven animation systems. These systems sense and reconstruct a real person's facial expressions from an image sequence. The novelty of our approach is to sense and animate both textures and geometry using...

In this paper, we present a new deformable volume rendering algorithm. The volume deformation is modeled by a landmark-based volume morphing method uisng Hardy's scattered data interpolation. The algorithm is able to directly render the deformed volume without going through the expensive volume construction process. Piecewise linear approximation of the deformation function by adaptive space su...

Lung disease is the number three cause of death in America. Measuring local volume deformation from lung image registration may provide a non-invasive approach for detecting and classifying diseases and provide a means for measuring how these diseases respond to intervention. 3D lung CT images contain easily identifiable landmarks such as airway-tree and vascular-tree branch points that can be ...
متن کاملA System for Automated Generation of Deformed Maps
This paper presents a prototype system for automated generation of deformed maps, based on a psychological model in the field of cognitive map. The system consists of two parts; map deformation and map database management. The map deformation part has two functions; road deformation and landmark relocation. In the road deformation process, each road segment is transformed in parallel and iterat...
