Abstract

Modelling and reconstruction of tubular objects from graph representations is frequently needed in medical visualization. The constructed geometrical models need to be consistent and compact at the same time for interactive applications. In this paper we present a new method for generating compact topologically consistent 2-manifold surfaces of branching tubular objects. The proposed two-stage approach based on deformable simplex-meshes can handle higher order furcations.
