Abstract
In this paper we present work in progress on 3-D surface reconstruction and 3-D integrated representation of objects defined by a set of parallel cross sections. Three problems have to be addressed: planar contour approximation, reconstruction of surfaces between successive parallel contours and representation/approximation of the reconstructed surface. This paper focuses on the first two issues, the solution to the third one still being undetermined.© (1987) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
