Geometric Modeling and Mesh Generation from Scanned Images

Based on the author¿s recent research and course at Carnegie Mellon University, this book shows how to integrate image processing, geometric modeling, and mesh generation with the finite element method to solve problems in computational biology, medicine, materials science, and engineering. The text explains the fundamentals of medical imaging, image processing, computational geometry, mesh generation, visualization, and finite element analysis. It also explores novel and advanced applications in computational biology, medicine, materials science, and other engineering areas.
