چکیده

The application of Diierential Equation Interpolants (DEIs) to the visualization of the solutions to Partial Diierential Equations (PDEs) is investigated. In particular, we describe how a DEI can be used to generate a ne mesh approximation from a coarse mesh approximation; this ne mesh approximation can then be used by a standard contouring function to render an accurate contour plot of the surface. However, the standard approach has a time complexity equivalent to that of rendering a surface plot, O(fm 2) for each element of the coarse mesh, (where fm is the ratio of the width of the coarse mesh to the ne mesh). To address this concern three fast contouring algorithms are proposed which compute accurate contour lines directly from the DEI, and have time complexity at most O(fm) for each coarse mesh element.

Highlight-line algorithm for realtime surface-quality assessment

A new method of surface-quality assessment is presented. The model of highlight lines is introduced, and its properties and applications in surface-quality evaluation are demonstrated. The differential equation of the highlight-line model is derived, and the difficulty involved in seeking its analytical solutions is discussed. Alternatively, the creation of highlight lines is formulated as a su...

Standard edge detection algorithms versus conventional auto-contouring used for a three-dimensional rigid CT-CT matching

Background: To reduce uncertainties of patient positioning, the Computerized Tomography (CT) images acquired at the treatment planning time can be compared with those images obtained during radiation dose delivery. This can be followed during dose delivery procedure as Image Guided radiotherapy (IGRT) to verify the prescribed radiation dose delivery to the target as well as to monitor ...
