Deformable Volume Modeling and Visualization
This project focuses on developing efficient and accurate modeling techniques, computational methods, and visualization algorithms for deformable volumetric objects.
In this model, a volume deformation is represented by a relatively small set of landmark points defined in a volume space. Three-dimensional scattered data interpolation methods will be applied to generate smooth deformation functions over the volume space. Landmark points and their movements can be used for both the interactive deformation manipulations and the deformation pattern representations of specific types of deformable objects. Instead of directly modeling the object's physical or biological properties, this approach employs an inverse method to derive the deformation pattern of a given class of objects, using a parameterized spring model, directly from existing or experimental data. Fast deformable volume rendering algorithms will also be developed to support the visualization of the volume deformation process.
