Abstract

Existing volumetric representations model a nonthickness surface using voxels, and thus cannot accurately manipulate topology changes in the interactions between surfaces and solids. This study describes a volume representation in which face flags and dis tance-levels on each voxel represent surface topology and geometry, and an object flag identifies solids. Also presented herein is a set of algorithms that voxelize solids and surfaces, check the closures of the interactions among the volumetric surfaces and solids and manipulate various operations on the solids. A surgical example, in which the procedures involved in the complex interactions between cutting surfaces and anatomic structures and various geometric and topologic manipulations on the structures, are simulated to demonstrate that these novel volume representation and algorithms are feasible in manipulating the interactions between surfaces and solids in a volume.
