As a new interdisciplinary research area image-based geometric modeling and mesh generation
integrates image processing geometric modeling and mesh generation with finite element method
(FEM) to solve problems in computational biomedicine materials sciences and engineering. It is
well known that FEM is currently well-developed and efficient but mesh generation for complex
geometries (e.g. the human body) still takes about 80% of the total analysis time and is the
major obstacle to reduce the total computation time. It is mainly because none of the
traditional approaches is sufficient to effectively construct finite element meshes for
arbitrarily complicated domains and generally a great deal of manual interaction is involved
in mesh generation. This contributed volume the first for such an interdisciplinary topic
collects the latest research by experts in this area. These papers cover a broad range of
topics including medical imaging image alignment and segmentation image-to-mesh conversion
quality improvement mesh warping heterogeneous materials biomodelcular modeling and
simulation as well as medical and engineering applications. This contributed volume the first
