Geometric Modeling and Mesh Generation from Scanned Images

Geometric Modeling and Mesh Generation from Scanned Images is a comprehensive guide to integrating image processing, geometric modeling, and mesh generation with the finite element method (FEM) for solving complex physical phenomena. It covers biomedical/material imaging, image processing, geometric modeling and visualization, FEM, and biomedical and engineering applications, introducing image-mesh-simulation pipelines, numerical methods, scanning techniques, geometric modeling and computer graphics, and triangular/tetrahedral and quadrilateral/hexahedral mesh generation techniques. It also discusses volumetric T-spline modeling for isogeometric analysis (IGA) and introduces some new developments of FEM in recent years with applications.

Cutting-Edge Techniques to Better Analyze and Predict Complex Physical Phenomena Geometric Modeling and Mesh Generation from Scanned Images offers a comprehensive and practical guide to integrating image processing,geometric modeling,and mesh generation with the finite element method (FEM) to solve problems in computational biology,medicine,materials science,and engineering. Based on the authors recent research and course at Carnegie Mellon University,the text explains the fundamentals of medical imaging,image processing,computational geometry,mesh generation,visualization,and finite element analysis. It also explores novel and advanced applications in computational biology,medicine,materials science,and other engineering areas. One of the first to cover this emerging interdisciplinary field,the book addresses biomedical/material imaging,image processing,geometric modeling and visualization,FEM,and biomedical and engineering applications. It introduces image-mesh-simulation pipelines,reviews numerical methods used in various modules of the pipelines,and discusses several scanning techniques,including ones to probe polycrystalline materials. The book next presents the fundamentals of geometric modeling and computer graphics,geometric objects and transformations,and curves and surfaces as well as two isocontouring methods: marching cubes and dual contouring. It then describes various triangular/tetrahedral and quadrilateral/hexahedral mesh generation techniques. The book also discusses volumetric T-spline modeling for isogeometric analysis (IGA) and introduces some new developments of FEM in recent years with applications.
