Summary :

A new hierarchical isosurface reconstruction scheme from a set of tomographic cross sectional images is presented. From the input data, we construct a hierarchy of volume, called the volume pyramid, based on a 3D dilation filter. After extracting the base mesh from the volume at the coarsest level by the cell-boundary method, we iteratively fit the mesh to the isopoints representing the actual isosurface of the volume. The SWIS (Shrink-wrapped isosurface) algorithm is adopted in this process, and a mesh subdivision scheme is utilized to reconstruct fine detail of the isosurface. According to experiments, our method is proved to produce a hierarchical isosurface which can be utilized by various multiresolution algorithms such as interactive visualization and progressive transmission.
