Voxel-based data structures, algorithms, frameworks, and interfaces have been used in
computer graphics and many other applications for decades. There is a general necessity to …

This paper presents an introduction to the field of three-dimensional medical imaging It
presents medical imaging terms and concepts, summarizes the basic operations performed …

The application of volume-rendering techniques to the display of surfaces from sampled
scalar functions of three spatial dimensions is discussed. It is not necessary to fit geometric …

Volume graphics, which employs a volume buffer of voxels for 3D scene representation, is
discussed. Volume graphics offers advantages over surface graphics: it is viewpoint …

The topic of the thesis is content-based retrieval of 3D-models by shape-similarity. In our 3D
model retrieval system a model, a polygonal mesh, serves as a query and similar objects are …

When you think about how far and fast computer science has progressed in recent years, it's
not hard to conclude that a seven-year old handbook may fall a little short of the kind of …

Many computer graphics programmers are working in the area of scientific visualization.
One of the most interesting and fast-growing areas in scientific visualization is volume …

Techniques are provided for searching on three dimensional (3D) objects across large,
distributed repositories of 3D models. 3D shapes are created for input to a search system; …

This paper presents the theoretical discrete geometry framework for the voxelization of
surfaces. A voxelized object is a 3D discrete representation of a continuous object on a …

Abstract me process of generating discrete surfaces in a volumetric representation, termed
voxe~ zation, is cotionted with topologid considerations as we~ as accuracy and efficiency …
