Endovascular interventions can benefit from interactive simulation in their training phase but
also during pre-operative and intra-operative phases if simulation scenarios are based on …

To provide efficient tools for the capture and modeling of acceptable virtual human poses,
we propose a method for constraining the underlying joint structures based on real life data …

To increase the reliability of existing human motion tracking algorithms, we propose a
method for imposing limits on the underlying hierarchical joint structures in a way that is true …

An aneurysm is an abnormal widening of a blood vessel. As the vessel widens, it also gets
thinner and weaker, with an increasing risk of rupture. Aneurysms are essentially found in …

Implicit planar curve and surface fitting to a set of scattered points plays an important role in
solving a wide variety of problems occurring in computer graphics modelling, computer …

3D models of the lips have been developed in the framework of an audio visual articulatory
speech synthesizer. Unlike most of the regions of the human face, the lips are essentially …

To increase the reliability of existing human motion tracking algorithms, we propose a
method for imposing limits on the underlying hierarchical joint structures in a way that is true …

One of the most important elements needed for effective training in Virtual Reality (VR) is the
generation of variable scenarios. Without this, trainees quickly become familiar with a scene …

Abstract Background and Objective High-quality vascular modeling is crucial for blood flow
simulations, ie, computational fluid dynamics (CFD). As without an accurate geometric …

In this paper, we present a constructive method for fitting both an explicit and an implicit
curve or surface to a set of scattered points by using gate functions. With this technique, the …
