A polarization-maintaining buffered Fourier domain mode-locked (FDML) swept source with a center wavelength of 1300 nm is demonstrated. The scanning rate of the buffered FDML swept source is doubled without sacrificing the output power of the swept source by combining two orthogonally polarized outputs with a polarization beam combiner. The stability of the swept source is improved because the ...

Many graphical objects can be represented by swept volumes (including its subset – generalised cylinders) by sweeping 2D or 3D templates along 3D trajectories. In this paper, we present a new approach for constructing swept volumes using image templates. We utilise scalar fields as our underlying data type, and employ volume ray casting techniques for rendering swept volumes in their original s...

Purpose To report the swept-source optical coherence tomographic (OCT) findings in two eyes with choroidal metastases. Observations Two patients with choroidal metastasis were studied. The metastasis was from a breast cancer in Case 1 and from a lung cancer in Case 2. In Case 1, swept-source OCT showed a highly reflective solid tumor with low optical reflective tissues that had replaced the c...

We present a novel and efficient technique to generate a high quality mesh that approximates the outer boundary of a swept volume (SV). Our approach comes with two guarantees. First, the approximation is conservative, i.e. the swept volume is enclosed by the output mesh. Second, the one-sided Hausdorff distance of the generated mesh to the swept volume is upper bounded by a user defined toleran...

The swept volume problem is practical, dif®cult and interesting enough to have received a great deal of attention over the years, and the literature contains much discussion of methods for computing swept volumes in many situations. The method presented here permits an arbitrary polyhedral object (given in a typical boundary representation) to be swept through an arbitrary trajectory. A polyhed...

We present a novel, efficient and flexible scheme to generate a high quality mesh that approximates the outer boundary of a swept volume. Our approach comes with two guarantees. First, the approximation is conservative, i.e., the swept volume is enclosed by the generated mesh. Second, the one-sided Hausdorff distance of the generated mesh to the swept volume is upper bounded by a user defined t...

In this paper we present a recursive volume decomposition method for automatically decomposing complex shaped objects with both protrusions and depressions into simpler sub-objects for automatic hexahedral mesh generation. The sub-volumes after decomposition are classified into either convex or swept volumes. For a convex volume, it is mapped to a collection of hexahedral objects. On the other ...
