This study aims at enhancing the performance of file-referring octree, suggested by Han(2014), for efficiently querying huge 3D point clouds, acquired by the 3D terrestrial laser scanning. Han's method(2014) has revealed a problem of heavy declining in query speed, when if it was applied on a very long tunnel, which is the lengthy and narrow shaped anisometric structure. Hereupon, the shape of octree has been analyzed of its influence on the query efficiency with the testing method of generating an independent octree in each isometric subdivision of 3D object boundary. This method tested query speed and main memory usage against the conventional single octree method by capturing about 300 million points in a very long tunnel. Finally, the testing method resulted in which twice faster query speed is taking similar size of memory. It is also approved that the conclusive factor influencing the query speed is the destination level, but the query speed can still increase with more proximity to isometric bounding shape of octree. While an excessive unbalance of octree shape along each axis can heavily degrade the query speed, the improvement of octree shape can be more effectively enhancing the query speed than increasement of destination level.

This study presents the visualization of shape information based on Octree using 3D laser scanning. The process of visualization was established to construct the Octree structure from the 3D scan data. The scan data was converted to a 2D surface through the mesh technique and the surface was then converted to a 3D object through the Raster/Vector transformation. The 3D object was transmitted to the Octree Root Node and The shape information was constructed by the recursive partitioning of the Octree Root Node. The test-bed was selected as the steel bridge structure in Sungkyunkwan University. The shape information based on Octree was condensed into 89.3%. In addition, the Octree compressibility was confirmed to compare the shape information of the office building, a computer science campus in Germany and a New College in USA. The basis is created by the visualization of shape information for double-deck tunnel and it will be expected to improve the efficiency of structural health monitoring and maintenance.

본 논문에서는 메쉬, 복셀, 골격 데이터를 포함하는 복합적인 옥트리 기반의 형상 표현을 이용하여 해마의 형상을 분석하기 위한 효과적인 방법을 제공한다. 먼저, 자기공명영상으로부터 분할된 해마 영역에 마칭큐브 알고리즘을 적용하여 다단계 메쉬 데이터를 생성한다. 이렇게 생성된 메쉬 모델을 하드웨어 깊이맵을 이용한 복셀화 과정을 통하여, 중간 단계의 이진 복셀 표현으로 변환한다. 마지막으로 광선 추적 방법에 의해 추출된 샘플 메쉬들에 대하여 L2 Norm을 계산함으로써 형상 특징을 생성한다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법은 사용자 피킹 인터페이스를 이용하여 국부적 부위에서의 계층적 형상 분석을 가능하게 한다. 또한 계층적 Level-of-Detail 접근방법은 정확도를 유지하며 형상분석의 소요 시간을 절약하도록 한다.

본 논문에서는 뇌의 하부구조인 해마를 정확하게 분석하기 위한 형상 정규화 방법과 정상인과 간질 환자의 해마를 분류하기 위한 방법을 제시한다. 해마에 대한 형상 분석 과정은 크게 형상 표현을 구축하는 과정, 형상의 유사도를 측정하는 과정, 정상인 집단과 환자 집단을 분류하는 과정으로 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 해마의 형상 표현으로 메쉬, 골격, 복셀로 이루어진 하이브리드 옥트리 자료구조를 구축하였다. 또한 Iterative Closest Point (ICP) 알고리즘을 사용하여 해마 골격을 기반으로 한 정규화를 수행하였다. 그리고 정규화된 해마 형상을 전역적, 국부적으로 분석하여 최종적으로 입력된 해마가 정상인 또는 간질 환자에 속하는지를 학습된 데이터를 이용하여 분류하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 ICP 기반의 정규화 방법은 3차원 해마 형상을 정확하게 분석하게 해주고, 골격의 정점 수를 조절함으로써 정규화 시간을 감소시킬 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라 3차원 해마 모델의 형상을 신경망을 통하여 학습시킴으로써 해마의 형상이 변형된 환자 집단과 정상인 집단을 분류하는데 이용할 수 있다.

This paper presents an effective representation scheme for the shape analysis of the hippocampal structure and a stereoscopic-haptic environment to enhance sense of realism. The parametric model and the 3D skeleton represent various types of hippocampal shapes and they are stored in the Octree data structure. So they can be used for the interactive shape analysis. And the 3D skeleton-based pose normalization allows us to align a position and an orientation of the 3D hippocampal models constructed from multimodal medical imaging data. We also have trained Support Vector Machine (SVM) for classifying between the normal controls and epileptic patients. Results suggest that the presented representation scheme provides various level of shape representation and the SVM can be a useful classifier in analyzing the shape differences between two groups. A stereoscopic-haptic virtual environment combining an auto-stereoscopic display with a force-feedback (or haptic) device takes an advantage of 3D applications for medicine because it improves space and depth perception.

Both global volume reduction and local shape changes of hippocampus within the brain indicate their abnormal neurological states. Hippocampal shape analysis consists of two main steps. First, construct a hippocampal shape representation model ; second, compute a shape similarity from this representation. This paper proposes a novel method for the analysis of hippocampal shape using integrated Octree-based representation, containing meshes, voxels, and skeletons. First of all, we create multi-level meshes by applying the Marching Cube algorithm to the hippocampal region segmented from MR images. This model is converted to intermediate binary voxel representation. And we extract the 3D skeleton from these voxels using the slice-based skeletonization method. Then, in order to acquire multiresolutional shape representation, we store hierarchically the meshes, voxels, skeletons comprised in nodes of the Octree, and we extract the sample meshes using the ray-tracing based mesh sampling technique. Finally, as a similarity measure between the shapes, we compute $L_2$ Norm and Hausdorff distance for each sam-pled mesh pair by shooting the rays fired from the extracted skeleton. As we use a mouse picking interface for analyzing a local shape inter-actively, we provide an interaction and multiresolution based analysis for the local shape changes. In this paper, our experiment shows that our approach is robust to the rotation and the scale, especially effective to discriminate the changes between local shapes of hippocampus and more-over to increase the speed of analysis without degrading accuracy by using a hierarchical level-of-detail approach.

Given the tetrahedron-based octree approximation of a solid as described in part(I) of this thesis, in this part(II) a systematic procedure of 'boundary moving' is developed for the fully automatic generation of 3D finite element meshes. The algorithm moves some vertices of the octants near the boundary onto the exact surface of a solid without transforming the topology of octree leaf elements. As a result, the inner octree leaf elements can be used as exact tetrahedral finite element meshes. In addition, as a quality measure of a tetrahedral element, 'shape value' is propopsed and used for the generation of better finite elements during the boundary moving process.
