In this work, we developed a method which effectively uses subdivision surfaces to fit deformable models to noisy 3–D data. The subdivision models provide a compact low dimensional representation of model parameter space. They also allow a free form deformation of the objects of arbitrary geometry. These two properties make them ideal for fitting deformable models to noisy data. We tested our a...

The preoperative planning of primary tumor resections in the larynx region shall be supported by a 3D visualization of the patientspeci c anatomy and pathological situation. This requires a segmentation of the larynx cartilage structures from computed tomography (CT) datasets. In our work, we use 3D Stable Mass-Spring Models (SMSMs) for this segmentation task. Thereto, we create a speci c 3D de...

In order to have a good representation of deformable objects, is clever to have an adequate model to represent them. Since the origins of computer graphics, a large number of representation models have been presented. Not all of them are adequate to represent deformable objects. The way in which the objects can be handled, allowing local changes in their shape, or the possibility of the creatio...
