2014 Summer Project Week:Surface approximation from contour points

• 

  Projects List

Project Description

This Project is to develop a Slicer module which can produce a surface from a mask image. The input is a mask and the output is a surface. This work is based on an implementation of the Poisson surface reconstruction algorithm in the VTK framework, David-Doria Arnaud-Gelas, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute & Harvard Medical School.

Objective

• Develop a Slicer module which can approximate surface from a mask image.

Approach, Plan

• Extract contours from a mask image
• Get points on the contours
• Construct a initial surface using Slicer Module of "Model Maker"
• Look for a closest point to each contour point from "Model Maker" result
• Assign the normal of the closest point to the corresponding contour point
• Reconstruct a surface from contour points using Poisson surface reconstruction algorithm
