—Shortest paths have been used to segment object boundaries with both continuous and discrete image models. Although these techniques are well defined in 2D, the character of the...
Efficient segmentation of globally optimal surfaces in volumetric images is a central problem in many medical image analysis applications. Intra-class variance has been successful...
This paper introduces a new model of deformable surfaces designed for animation, which we call active implicit surfaces. The underlying idea is to animate a potential field define...
Developable surfaces are modelled with pieces of right circular cones. These cone spline surfaces are well-suited for applications: They possess degree two parametric and implicit...
Surgical simulation is a promising technology for training medical students and planning procedures. One major requirement for these simulation systems is a method to generate real...
