Abstract

Three algorithms of simplex mesh external force generation are presented. The algorithms are used for simplex meshes adaptation to manually traced object boundaries on several representative non-parallel cross sections of 3D ultrasound images. A morphing algorithm for the transformation between two simplex meshes is also considered.
