Mass-spring systems are of special interest for soft tissue modeling in surgical simulation due to their ease of implementation and real-time behavior. However, the parameter ident...
In surgical simulations, the two most popular approaches to model soft tissues are Finite Element Method (FEM) and Mass-Spring System (MSS). Main advantages of FEM are accuracy and...
Polygonal models are the most common representation of structured 3D data in computer graphics, pattern recognition and machine vision. The method presented here automatically ide...
