Creating freeform surfaces is a challenging task even with advanced geometric modeling systems. Laser range scanners offer a promising alternative for model acquisition--the 3D sc...
Tracking of tubular elongated structures is an important goal in a wide range of biomedical imaging applications. A Bayesian tube tracking algorithm is presented that allows to eas...

This paper describes an efficient 3D modeling method from 3D range data-sets that is utilizing range data segmentation. Our algorithm starts with a set of unregistered 3D range sc...
—We introduce the notion of the medial scaffold, a hierarchical organization of the medial axis of a 3D shape in the form of a graph constructed from special medial curves connec...
