3D Object Reconstruction from Parallel Cross-Sections

摘要

The paper presents a novel approach to the contour stitching method which improves the reconstruction of 3D objects from parallel contours. The innovation assumes the construction of outer and inner contour from many contours on one cross-section in case of branching. This exchange allows easy one to one connection, between contours on adjoining cross-sections, which has already been defined. Additionally, such a definition permits from artificial holes generation. Moreover, the method takes care of smooth surface reconstruction in case of concave and convex shapes. The performance of the novel algorithm has been tested on the set of artificial data as well as on the set of data gathered from CT scans and proved it to work well.
