Application-Specific Muscle Representations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The need to model muscles means different things to artistic and technical practitioners. Three different muscle representations are presented and the motivations behind their design are discussed. Each representation allows unique capabilities and operations to be performed on the model, yet the underlying mathematical foundation is the same for all. This is achieved by developing a data-fitting pipeline that allows samples that are generated from different data sources to be used in the guided construction of a B-spline solid. We show how Bspline solids can be used to create muscles from contour curves extracted out of medical images, digitized fibre sets from dissections of muscle specimens, and profile curves that can be interactively sketched and manipulated by an anatomical modeller.

A Universal Investigation of $n$-representations of $n$-quivers
noindent We have two goals in this paper. First, we investigate and construct cofree coalgebras over $n$-representations of quivers, limits and colimits of $n$-representations of quivers, and limits and colimits of coalgebras in the monoidal categories of $n$-representations of quivers. Second, for any given quivers $mathit{Q}_1$,$mathit{Q}_2$,..., $mathit{Q}_n$, we construct a new quiver $math...
متن کاملWavelet Representations and Their Application to the Modeling, Compression and Reduction of Spatial Data
We describe how wavelet representations can be used to efficiently model large spatial data sets, including 3D data on irregular grids. The main advantage of such representations is that they produce a multilevel structure, which allows us to prioritize the information content of the data set. We discuss three specific application areas: data compression, dimension reduction, and the problem of...

متن کاملEffect of Stabilization Exercise on Lumbar Multifidus Muscle Thickness in Patients with Non-specific Chronic Low Back Pain
Objectives: In a single blinded randomized controlled study, we investigated the effect of stabilization exercise on lumbar multifidus muscle thickness in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. Low Back Pain is highly prevalent and results in considerable level of disability. Many causes have been associated with weakness or injury of the soft tissues in the lumbar area. Methods: ...
