Simplex-Mesh Based Surface Reconstruction and Representation of Tubular Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modelling and reconstruction of tubular objects from graph representations is frequently needed in medical visualization. The constructed geometrical models need to be consistent and compact at the same time for interactive applications. In this paper we present a new method for generating compact topologically consistent 2-manifold surfaces of branching tubular objects. The proposed two-stage approach based on deformable simplex-meshes can handle higher order furcations.

Reconstruction and Representation of Tubular Structures using Simplex Meshes
Modelling and reconstruction of tubular objects is a known problem in computer graphics. For computer aided surgical planning the constructed geometrical models need to be consistent and compact at the same time, which known approaches cannot guarantee. In this paper we present a new method for generating compact, topologically consistent, 2-manifold surfaces of branching tubular objects using ...
متن کاملSimplex meshes: a general representation for 3D shape reconstruction
In this report, we develop the concept of simplex mesh as a representation of deformable models. Simplex meshes are simply connected meshes that are topologically dual of triangulations. In a previous work, we have introduced the simplex mesh representation for performing recognition of partially occluded smooth objects. In this paper, we present a physically-based approach for recovering three...

متن کامل2D Contour Smoothing and Surface Reconstruction of Tubular CT-Scanned Anatomical Structures
In this work several aspects of the computer modeling of anatomical structures are considered. A short review of the current status in the topic of surface reconstruction is presented. The goal of this study is to use CT-scan data in order to construct a finite element model and then perform analysis of the mechanics of the total hip replacement procedure. Imaging software is used to extract th...
