Abstract

This paper presents a fast and efficient surface reconstruction method from contour data sets. The reconstructed surface is defined as an implicit surface. We need not create any geometric skeleton and the blending of the three dimensional contour functions enables us to avoid the correspondence and the branching problems that occur in geometrical methods. Tests carried out with medical scanner data-sets show that the reconstruction may be performed at interactive rates.
