Adaptively adjusting Marching Cubes output to t a trilinear reconstruction lter
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper focuses on the improvement of the quality of isosurfaces tted on volume datasets with respect to standard MC solutions. The new solution presented improves the precision in the reconstruction process using an approach based on mesh re nement and driven by the evaluation of the trilinear reconstruction lter. The iso-surface reconstruction process is adaptive, to ensure that the complexity of the tted mesh will not become excessive. The proposed approach has been tested on many datasets; we discuss the precision of the obtained meshs and report data on tted meshes complexity and processing times.

Practical considerations on Marching Cubes 33 topological correctness
Chernyaev’s Marching Cubes 33 is one of the first algorithms intended to preserve the topology of the trilinear interpolant. In this work, we address three issues with the Marching Cubes 33 algorithm, two of which are related to its original description and one that is related to its variant. In particular, we solve a problem with the core disambiguation procedure of Marching Cubes 33 that prev...
متن کاملOn Marching Cubes
A characterization and classification of the isosurfaces of trilinear functions is presented. Based upon these results, a new algorithm for computing a triangular mesh approximation to isosurfaces for data given on a 3D rectilinear grid is presented. The original marching cubes algorithm is based upon linear interpolation along edges of the voxels. The asymptotic decider method is based upon bi...
متن کاملEdge Flows: Stratified Morse Theory for Simple, Correct Isosurface Extraction
We present a method to characterize the topology of the level sets of trilinearly interpolated scalar fields. Our characterization is based on Morse theory, and in particular a variant called Stratified Morse theory capable of treating the piecewise-smooth aspect of trilinear interpolation. Algorithms such as Marching Cubes generate approximations to these level sets to a varying degree of fide...
متن کاملHierarchical Iso-Surface Extraction
The extraction and display of iso-surfaces is a standard method for the visualization of volume data sets. In this paper we present a novel approach that utilizes a hierarchy on both the input and the output data. For the generation of a coarse base mesh, we construct a hierarchy of volumes and extract an iso-surface from the coarsest resolution with a standard Marching Cubes algorithm. We addi...
متن کاملExact Isosurfaces for Marching Cubes
In this paper we study the exact contours of a piecewise trilinear scalar field. We show how to represent these contours exactly as trimmed surfaces of triangular rational cubic Bézier patches. As part of this, we introduce an extension of the marching cubes algorithm which gives a topologically exact triangular approximation of the contours for any case. Finally, we modify the exact contours t...
