چکیده

Simulation of soft tissue deformation is a critical part of surgical simulation. An important method for this is finite element (FE) analysis. Models for FE analysis are typically derived by extraction of triangular surface meshes from CT or MRI image data. These meshes must fulfill requirements of accuracy, smoothness, compactness, and triangle quality. In this paper we propose new techniques for improving mesh triangle quality, based on the SurfaceNets method. Our results show that the meshes created are smooth and accurate, have good triangle quality, and fine detail is retained.

Improving Mesh Quality of Extracted Surfaces using SurfaceNets

Finite-element modelling is a standard way for simulation of soft tissue deformation. For proper modelling, triangular surface models must fulfil requirements of accuracy, smoothness, and conciseness. Several techniques proposed in the literature do not meet these requirements. In this paper we extend a new technique called SurfaceNets, which can create a globally smooth triangle mesh that reta...

Improving Quality of Free-Viewpoint Image by Mesh Based 3D Shape Deformation

In this paper, we present a method to synthesize high-quality virtual viewpoint image targeting the detailed texture objects. About 30 images are taken from multiple uncalibrated cameras around the object, and the Visual Hull model is reconstructed with Shape from Silhouette method. To deform 3D surface model that is converted from Visual Hull Model using the information such as image texture a...

Dual-Primal Mesh Optimization for Polygonized Implicit Surfaces With Sharp Features

A new method for improving polygonizations of implicit surfaces with sharp features is proposed. The method is based on the observation that, given an implicit surface with sharp features, a triangle mesh whose triangles are tangent to the implicit surface at certain inner triangle points gives a better approximation of the implicit surface than the standard Marching Cubes mesh [12] (in our exp...

Two Simple Methods for Improving a Triangle Mesh Surface

We present two simple and efficient local methods that reposition vertices of a triangle mesh surface with the goal of producing good triangle shapes while preserving the enclosed volume and sharp features. The methods involve minimizing a quadratic energy functional with respect to variations in a tangent plane (or in the direction of a crease) at each free vertex. One of the methods is aimed ...

A Triangle Mesh Standardization Method Based on Particle Swarm Optimization

To enhance the triangle quality of a reconstructed triangle mesh, a novel triangle mesh standardization method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed. First, each vertex of the mesh and its first order vertices are fitted to a cubic curve surface by using least square method. Additionally, based on the condition that the local fitted surface is the searching region of PSO and th...
