conclusion no significant differences were found among observers or voxel sizes, with high az results reported for all groups. results no significant differences were found among observers or voxel sizes, with high average z (az) results being reported for all groups. both intra- and inter-observer agreement values were relatively better for 3d accuitomo 170 images than the images from newtom 3...

In this paper we present a system for human body model acquisition and tracking of its parameters from voxel data. 3D voxel reconstruction of the body in each frame is computed from silhouettes extracted from multiple cameras. The system performs automatic model acquisition using a template based initialization procedure and a Bayesian network for refinement of body part size estimates. The twi...

Medial surface, the skeletal abstraction of a solid shape, can be used in applications such as shell (solid) mesh generation, robot path planning, and feature recognition. Unfortunately, computing the medical surface is very difficult. Those few algorithms proposed invariably need to solve systems of non-linear polynomial equations, which requires complicated numerical techniques. Recently, an ...

Meteorological simulation tools to model gas exchange phenomena within forests require well defined information of forest structure (e.g., 3D forest models) as a basis for the computation of the turbulent flow shaped by the drag of the vegetation. The paper describes techniques to obtain 3D data describing forest stands from dense terrestrial laser scanner point clouds. In a first step, stems a...
