Paper: Enumeration of Contour Correspondence

Enumeration of Contour Correspondence

Shigeru Ohwada, Yoshihisa Shinagawa and Frank Nielsen

Abstract:
With the recent advances in computed tomography and magnetic resonance devices, cross-sectional images are now commonly used for diagnosis. However, how contours between cross-sections should be connected is often ambiguous. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that enumerates all possible cases of the correspondence of contours. This is useful for achieving fully automatic interpolation of contours although our current implementation still requires some degree of manual interation.

Key words: contour interpolation, reconstruction, Reeb graph, singular points, topology.
