Abstract
In this paper, a method to handle branching in intensity interpolation from serial cross sections is proposed. It consists of eight major steps: (1) partial contour to contour correspondence establishment, (2) displacement field determination, (3) intermediate contour generation, (4) interior rim generation, (5) rim correspondence establishment, (6) line segment correspondence establishment, (7) intensity determination, and (8) gap filling. As a significant extension of our previous work which performs intensity interpolation for one-to-one case, the proposed method contains a novel technique to form a displacement field which is used in generating intermediate contours (steps 1 to 3), and adapts some of the previous techniques (steps 4 to 8) to select appropriate corresponding regions for intensity interpolation.
