Many model editing operations, such as morphing, blending, and shape deformation, require the ability to interactively transform the surface of a model in response to some control...
Accurate estimation and tracking of dynamic tissue deformation is important to motion compensation, intra-operative surgical guidance and navigation in minimally invasive surgery. ...
This paper proposes a “non-contact virtual clay modeling interface.” We developed a prototype of a three-dimensional modeling system that allows the user to deform the “virt...
Recent advances in surgical robotics have provided a platform for extending the current capabilities of minimally invasive surgery by incorporating both pre-operative and intra-ope...

This paper presents a method that uses the level sets of volumes to reconstruct the shapes of 3D objects from range data. The strategy is to formulate 3D reconstruction as a stati...
