The Medial Axis Transform MAT was defined by Blum as an alternate description of the shape of a continuous object. The MAT is the closure of the set of centers of maximal balls which can fit inside the object. A ball ...

A major goal of visualization is to appropriately express knowledge of scientific data. Generally, gathering visual information contained in the volume data often requires a lot of expertise from the final user to setup ...

This paper proposes a new representation scheme of the cerebral blood vessels. This model provides information on the semantics of the vascular structure: the topological relationships between vessels and the ...

From an historical point of view, geometric modeling techniques usually represent the surface of solids. However, the increasing development of new fields in CAD applications like molecular systems, medicine, or geology, ...

We present as novel method for the exploration of multiple overlapping volumes that provides flexibility to merge data in different ways in different regions. In each region, either one of the modalities is rendered alone ...

Volume modeling has recently emerged as a promising field of research and development. A generic scheme of volume modeling applications is proposed and applied to existing volume modeling applications. Next, volume modeling ...

Volume rendering is a very active research field in Computer Graphics because of its wide range of applications in various sciences, from medicine to flow mechanics. In this report, we survey a state-of-the-art on time-varying ...

In order to enhance the cerebral blood vessels in the visualization, in this report, the specific problems of the medical diagnosis of vascular structures and the requirements of the visualization are presented. The ...

The paper describes VolDmi, an open system for volume modeling and visualization defined as an interactive platform which will integrate current and future research developments, as well as specific applications. The article ...
