Abstract

See full text

A computer-implemented method for extracting an approximated medial surface from a solid having a thin-wall geometry. The method includes generating a first mesh representative of the solid and including a plurality of mesh elements. The method further includes defining a mid-surface element for each of at least a portion of the volumetric mesh elements, segmenting a surface collectively formed by the mid-surface elements to form a plurality of surface regions, defining a boundary for each surface region, and fitting an approximate surface to each surface region and its corresponding boundary. The approximate surfaces collectively define the approximated medial surface.
