Abstract

Compactly supported radial basis functions (RBFs) were used for surface reconstruction of in vivo geometry, translated from two dimensional (2D) medical images. RBFs provide a flexible approach to interpolation and approximation for problems featuring unstructured data in three-dimensional space. Point-set data are obtained from the contour of segmented 2-D slices. Multilevel RBFs allow smoothing and fill in missing data of the original geometry while maintaining the overall structure shape.
