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...
We propose a fast 3D model acquisition system that aligns intensity and depth images, and reconstructs a textured 3D mesh. 3D views are registered with shape alignment based on in...

The automatic segmentation of the musculoskeletal system from medical images is a particularly challenging task, due to its morphological complexity, its large variability in the ...
We present a novel approach for discretely optimizing contours on the surface of a triangle mesh. This is achieved through the use of a minimum ratio cycle (MRC) algorithm, where ...
Polygonal meshes obtained from acquisition of real-world objects may easily exhibit topological or geometrical defects, which often prevent subsequent processing and analysis to p...
