Modeling surfaces using quadratic surface patches

چکیده
In this paper, WC show how to extract reliable informations about the shape of 3D objects, obtained from volume medical images. We present an optimal region-growing algorithm, that makes use of the differential characteristics of the object surface, and achieves a stable segmentation into a set of patches of quadratic surfaces. We show how this segmentation can be used to recognize and locate a target sub-structure on a global anatomic structure. keywords : Shape and object representation, Segmentation and perceptual grouping

We approximate a manifold triangulation in IR 3 using smooth implicit algebraic surface patches, which we call A-patches. Here each A-patch is a real iso-contour of a trivariate rational function deened within a tetrahedron. The rational trivari-ate function provides increased degrees of freedom so that the number of surface patches needed for free-form shape modeling is signiicantly reduced co...

متن کاملComputing exact rational offsets of quadratic triangular Bézier surface patches
The offset surfaces to non-developable quadratic triangular Bézier patches are rational surfaces. In this paper we give a direct proof of this result and formulate an algorithm for computing the parameterization of the offsets. Based on the observation that quadratic triangular patches are capable of producing C smooth surfaces, we use this algorithm to generate rational approximations to offse...
