I'm working on a project which will require 3-dimensionally reconstructing da-
ta gathered using a CT scanner.
The main problem is going from the format of the scan (parallell slices) to
something that looks good on a computer screen (surface w. hidden surface el-
imination).
Does anybody out there now of a good algorithm or journal articles describing
an algorithm to reconstruct a surface (or rather connected polygons) from
data in the format of slices. If so, could someone out there in net.land give
me a hand. My math background is unfortunately quite lacking (I'll be a junior
next school-year), so please keep it simple, or explain in excruciating de-
tail.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Unless your response will result in great enlightenment of the masses, please
respong by EMail.
Thanks.
