We present new interaction and visualization paradigms relying on free form surfaces for studying and exploring human anatomy. We propose an interface for building three-dimensional anatomical scenes incorporating 3D anatomical organ models, freely orienta ...
A method is proposed for designing apodized apertures with a transmission profile which follows a curve defined using a cubic spline interpolation. The method is applied in digital holographic microscopy to perform digitally the apodization of the aperture ...
We present an exact algorithm for the computation of the moments of a region bounded by a curve represented in a scaling function or wavelet basis. Using Green's theorem, we show that the computation of the area moments is equivalent to applying a suitable ...
We present a novel formulation for B-spline snakes that can be used as a tool for fast and intuitive contour outlining. We start with a theoretical argument in favor of splines in the traditional formulation by showing that the optimal, curvature-constrain ...
We present an explicit formula for spline kernels; these are defined as the convolution of several B-splines of variable widths h and degrees n. The spline kernels are useful for continuous signal processing algorithms that involve B-spline inner-products ...
Resolution-independent windowing systems and raster image processors require efficient and precise rendering of outline characters. Rendering of typographic outline characters involves outline grid fitting, outline scan conversion, and filling. For the pur ...
Existing algorithms for rendering Bezier curves and surfaces fall into two categories: iterative evaluation of the parametric equations (generally using forward differencing techniques) or recursive subdivision. In the latter case, all the algorithms rely ...
The extraction of planar sections from volume images is the most commonly used technique for inspecting and visualizing anatomic structures. We propose to generalize the concept of planar section to the extraction of curved cross-sections (free form surfac ...

The distance from self-intersection of a (smooth and either closed or infinite) curve q in three dimensions can be characterised via the global radius of curvature at q(s), which is defined as the smallest possible radius amongst all circles passing throug ...
We present a method for the exact computation of the moments of a region bounded by a curve represented by a scaling function or wavelet basis. Using Green's Theorem, we show that the computation of the area moments is equivalent to applying a suitable mul ...
