The evaluation of relationship between body mass index and mental foramen area using computer-aided methods

open access: yesJournal of Orofacial Sciences, 2016
Objective: Anatomical structure of the mental foramen (MF) is an essential orientation point particularly for implant planning at surgical clinics of dentistry, for genioplasty operations, and plastic surgery.

An Optimal Transport Approach to Robust Reconstruction and Simplification of 2D Shapes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We present a robust 2D shape reconstruction and simplification algorithm which takes as input a defect-laden point set with noise and outliers. We introduce an optimal-transport driven approach where the input point set, considered as a sum of Dirac ...

Quantitative Assessment of Variational Surface Reconstruction from Sparse Point Clouds in Freehand 3D Ultrasound Imaging during Image-Guided Tumor Ablation

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2016
Surface reconstruction for freehand 3D ultrasound is used to provide 3D visualization of a VOI (volume of interest) during image-guided tumor ablation surgery. This is a challenge because the recorded 2D B-scans are not only sparse but also non-parallel.

3D Surface Reconstruction by Pointillism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The objective of this work is to infer the 3D shape of an object from a single image. We use sculptures as our training and test bed, as these have great variety in shape and appearance. To achieve this we build on the success of multiple view geometry (MVG) which is able to accurately provide correspondences between images of 3D objects under varying ...

Incremental and Enhanced Scanline-Based Segmentation Method for Surface Reconstruction of Sparse LiDAR Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
The segmentation of point clouds is an important aspect of automated processing tasks such as semantic extraction. However, the sparsity and non-uniformity of the point clouds gathered by the popular 3D mobile LiDAR devices pose many challenges for ...

Research on the Health Assessment Method of the Safety Retaining Wall in a Dump Based on UAV Point-Cloud Data

open access: yesSensors, 2023
The safety retaining wall is a critical infrastructure in ensuring the safety of both rock removal vehicles and personnel. However, factors such as precipitation infiltration, tire impact from rock removal vehicles, and rolling rocks can cause local ...

Projective Reconstruction of Surfaces of Revolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This paper addresses the problem of recovering the generating curve of a surface of revolution from a single uncalibrated perspective view, based solely on the object’s outline and two (partly) visible cross-sections. Without calibration of the camera’s internal parameters such recovery is only possible up to a particular transformation of the true ...

The PRISM4 (mid-Piacenzian) palaeoenvironmental reconstruction

open access: yes, 2016
The mid-Piacenzian is known as a period of relative warmth when compared to the present day. A comprehensive understanding of conditions during the Piacenzian serves as both a conceptual model and a source for boundary conditions and means of ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...
