A method for automatically reconstructing a three-dimensional object from serial cross-sections is presented in this paper. The method combines the techniques of dynamic elastic contour interpolation, spline theory, and quadratic-variation-based surface interpolation. In the proposed method, the ini

Background: Computer-based three-dimensional (3D) visualizations reconstructed from sectional images represent a valuable tool in biomedical research and medical diagnosis. Particularly with those imaging techniques that provide virtual sections, such as CT, MRI, and CLSM, 3D reconstructions have be
An algorithm is described to generate pictures in arbitrary perspective from serially sectioned biological material. Only those parts of the object which lie on a direct line of sight to the observer are included into the computed paper-plot, while hidden lines are omitted. The program was written f
