Image-Based Geometric Modeling and Mesh Generation Gebunden

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 e ffectively 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.
