Surface Reconstruction from Orthogonal Slices

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the problem of reconstructing surfaces of 3D objects, given sets of planar parallel slices representing cross sections through the objects. We present a new approach, which is based on considering more than one mutually non-parallel sets of slices. This paper is an introduction to this problem and includes our proposal of solution for orthogonal sets of slices. The properties and sample results are discussed.
