Abstract

Proposes as a generalization of isosurfaces, the 'interval volume', which is a new type of geometric model representing 3D subvolumes with field values belonging to a closed interval. A dominant surface fitting algorithm called 'marching cubes' is extended to obtain a solid fitting algorithm, which extracts from a given volumetric dataset a high-resolution polyhedral solid data structure of the interval volume. Rendering methods for the interval volume and principal related operations are also presented. The effectiveness of this approach is illustrated with 4D simulated data from atomic collision research.
