Abstract:

A hybrid volume modeling system architecture is proposed. The key architectural decision of the system design is based on the combination of volume representations by voxel data and by real continuous functions (so-called F-rep). We discuss the concept of the volume model, hybrid voxel-function representation, system input in different forms and possible applications. Several examples illustrate the proposed approach: femur reconstruction and modeling, hybrid metamorphosis, collision detection, and real-time volumetric fly-through.
