Abstract
A new method for reconstructing a 3-dimensional object from serial cross-sections is presented in this paper. The method is based on the principle of sampling and considers every point in cross-sections as a sampling point and performs the interpolating of nonlinear function with these sampling points. Compared with other methods, this method has many advantages such as higher precision and fewer requested known sampling points. The result of reconstruction with this method is an “entity” which involves the exterior shape and interior construction information of the object simultaneously.
