چکیده

In 2D, Intelligent Scissors is an efficient interactive tool for image segmentation. By interactive use of a dynamic-programming graph-searching algorithm, a region of interest in the image can be accurately obtained. In this paper, we introduce the use of Intelligent Scissors for contour detection on a volumetric data surface. It is fast enough to be used in an interactive virtual environment, in which the user can intuitively select the contours in volumetric data in an accurate and robust manner. Moreover, we extend our work to the volume data manipulation, cutting off the interesting part of the volume by providing a contour on its surface. The cutting surface is computed by a fast dynamic programming algorithm. By using this tool, many new volumetric data models can be created from an existing one in an effective way.

The Effect of Power and Maximum Cutting Speed on the Material Removal Rate and Cutting Volume Efficiency in CO2 Laser Cutting of Polycarbonate Sheets

In the laser cutting process some well-known parameters, e.g. laser power and cutting speed, play major roles in the performance of the process. Each parameter or a combination of parameters can affect the material removal volume and cutting volume efficiency. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of power and maximum cutting speed on the material removal rate (MRR) and cutting vo...

Volumetric modeling and interactive cutting of deformable bodies.

A new approach for the interactive simulation of viscoelastic object cutting is presented. Two synchronized geometrical models at different resolutions are used, both derived from medical images. In contrast with most previous approaches, the blade deforms the object, and cutting occurs once a contact pressure threshold is exceeded. Moreover, we achieve interactive simulation rates by embedding...

Nicer-Slicer-Dicer: An Interactive Volume Visualization Tool

Nicer-Slicer-Dicer (NSD) is a new, interactive tool for volume visualization. In addition to single scalar volumes, NSD can visualize multivariate and time series data. NSD achieves high rendering rates by compositing slice planes back-to-front while blending pixels through the use of alpha bu ering hardware. This technique introduces some small artifacts, but it works remarkably well with larg...

Using Linked Volumes to Model Object Collisions

| In Volume Graphics, objects are represented by arrays or clusters of sampled 3D data. A volumetric object representation is necessary in computer modeling whenever interior structure a ects an object's behavior or appearance. However, existing volumetric representations are not su cient for modeling the behaviors expected in applications such as surgical simulation, where interactions between...
