Craniofacial Reconstruction Using Rational Cubic Ball Curves
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes the reconstruction of craniofacial fracture using rational cubic Ball curve. The idea of choosing Ball curve is based on its robustness of computing efficiency over Bezier curve. The main steps are conversion of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (Dicom) images to binary images, boundary extraction and corner point detection, Ball curve fitting with genetic algorithm and final solution conversion to Dicom format. The last section illustrates a real case of craniofacial reconstruction using the proposed method which clearly indicates the applicability of this method. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) has also been developed for practical application.

Endpoint hermit interpolation with cubic ball PH curves
The Pythagorean hodograph (PH) curves are polynomial parametric curves whose hodograph (derivative) components satisfy the Pythagorean condition. Lots of research works had been done with PH curves relevant topics due that PH curves own many remarkable properties, e.g., its offset curves have exact rational representations. In this paper, ball curves with rational polynomial offset are studied....
متن کامل3D Reconstruction Using Cubic Bezier Spline Curves and Active Contours (Case Study)
Introduction 3D reconstruction of an object from its 2D cross-sections (slices) has many applications in different fields of sciences such as medical physics and biomedical engineering. In order to perform 3D reconstruction, at first, desired boundaries at each slice are detected and then using a correspondence between points of successive slices surface of desired object is reconstructed. Mate...
متن کاملAn Optimal G^2-Hermite Interpolation by Rational Cubic Bézier Curves
In this paper, we study a geometric G^2 Hermite interpolation by planar rational cubic Bézier curves. Two data points, two tangent vectors and two signed curvatures interpolated per each rational segment. We give the necessary and the sufficient intrinsic geometric conditions for two C^2 parametric curves to be connected with G2 continuity. Locally, the free parameters w...
متن کاملDegree Reduction of Interval WB Curves
Wang-Ball (WB) curve is one of the generalized cubic Ball basis which was first put forward in CONSURF system by Ball. Wang extended it to arbitrary odd and even degrees. An algorithmic approach to degree reduction of interval Wang-Ball curve is presented in this paper. The four fixed Kharitonov's polynomials (four fixed WB curves) associated with the original interval WB curve are obtained. Th...
متن کاملDegree Reduction of Interval SB Curves
Ball basis was introduced for cubic polynomials by Ball, and was generalized for polynomials of higher degree by Said. An algorithmic approach to degree reduction of interval Said-Ball (SB) curve is presented in this paper. The four fixed Kharitonov's polynomials (four fixed SB curves) associated with the original interval SB curve are obtained. These four fixed SB curves are transformed into f...
