This paper presents a method to perform 2D deformable object tracking using the boundary element method (BEM). BEM, like the finite element method (FEM), is a technique to model a...
This paper presents a voxel-based biomechanical model for muscle deformation using nite element method FEM and volume graphics. Hierarchical voxel meshes are reconstructed from ...
—In this paper, we propose a novel predictive model, active volume model (AVM), for object boundary extraction. It is a dynamic “object” model whose manifestation includes a ...
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...
