Surface reconstruction is the process of creating virtual three-dimensional representations of real-world objects using data obtained from 3D scanners. The traditional challenges of surface reconstruction arise from the uncertain nature of input data. Inaccuracies in scanning devices create noisy data. Point sampling is often non-uniform. And, accessibility constraints during the scanning proce...

The work presented in this paper deals with the performance analysis of the whole 3D reconstruction process of imaged objects, specifically of the set of geometric primitives describing their outline and extracted from a pair of images knowing their associated camera models. The proposed analysis focuses on error estimation for the edge detection process, the starting step for the whole reconst...

In this paper we present a novel algorithm to optimize the reconstruction from non-uniform point sets. We introduce a statistically-derived topology-controller for selecting the reconstruction resolution of a given non-uniform point set. Deriving information from homology-based statistics, our topology-controller ensures a stable and sound basis for the analysis process. By analyzing our topolo...

GOPI MEENAKSHISUNDARAM: Theory and Practice of Sampling and Reconstruction for Manifolds with Boundaries (Under the direction of Prof. Jack Snoeyink) Surface sampling and reconstruction are used in modeling objects in graphics and digital archiving of mechanical parts in Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM). Sampling involves collecting 3D points from the surface. Using these point...

BACKGROUND Post-mastectomy breast reconstruction is commonly performed in the United States with numerous options available to patients and providers. This study evaluated patient race and provider in prediction of patient satisfaction following post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. METHODS The patient satisfaction for women who underwent post mastectomy breast reconstruction at U...
