3D surface reconstruction is to make the original geometry of 3D objects from 2D geometric information. Barequet's algorithm is well known and most widely used in surface reconstruction. It tiles matched regions first, then triangulates clefts using dynamic programming. However it takes considerably long processing time while manipulating complex model. Our method tiles a simple region that does not have branches along minimally distant vertex pairs at once. When there are branches, our method divides contour lines into a simple region and clefts. We propose a fast and simple method that calculates medial axes using a minimum distance in cleft region. Experimental results show that our method can produce accurate models than the previous method within short time.

In order to create three-dimensional model for human body, a method that reconstructs geometric models from contour lines on cross-section images is commonly used. We can get a set of contour lines by acquiring CT or MR images and segmenting anatomical structures. Previously proposed method divides entire contour line into simply matched regions and clefts. Since long processing time is required for reconstructing cleft regions, its performance might be degraded when manipulating complex data such as cross-sections for human body. In this paper, we propose a fast reconstruction method. It generates a triangle strip with single tiling operation for simple region that does not contain branch structures. If there exist branches in contour lines, it partitions the contour line into several sub-contours by considering the number of vertices and their spatial distribution. We implemented an automatic surface reconstruction system by using our method which reconstructs three-dimensional models for anatomical structures.

3차원 모델 재구성 방법 중 하나는 평행한 2차원 영상위의 외곽선들을 이용하여 본래의 기하정보를 복원하는 것이다. 표면 재구성 과정은 크게 대응관계 결정, 타일화, 분기처리로 이루어진다. 단순한 외곽선의 쌍인 경우에는 간단한 방법으로 기하정보를 생성할 수 있으나, 하나의 외곽선이 인접 슬라이스의 여러 외곽선으로 분기되는 경우는 처리가 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 분기가 있는 복잡한 외곽선의 쌍으로부터 본래의 형상을 재구성하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저 외곽선의 각 정점에 대응하는 인접 외곽선의 최단거리 정점들을 찾아서 기본영역을 타일화 하고 남은 부분(클레프트)들은 대응하는 잔여 정점들의 중점을 찾아 타일화 한다. 이렇게 함으로써 여러 개로 분기된 외곽선을 본래의 형상으로 재구성 할 수 있으며 이를 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.
