✦ Synopsis

Voxel models, or exhaustive enumeration schemes, offer several fundamental advantages for the representation of complex three-dimensional objects. In the past, voxel-based methods have been used for the manipulation and display of volumetrically sampled real-world data in diverse research areas such as medical imaging, confocal microscopy, seismic data processing and reservoir simulation.

We will present an introduction to the existing literature and indicate where the methods that have been developed could be applied in CAD-related systems.
