The design and development of Internet applications can take advantage of a paradigm based on autonomous and mobile agents. However, agent mobility introduces peculiar coordinatio...
This paper is focused on the use of the level set formalism to segment anatomical structures in 3D images (ultrasound ou magnetic resonance images). A closed 3D surface propagates...
This paper presents a new computational method for fully automated triangular mesh generation, consistently applicable to wire-frame, surface, solid, and nonmanifold geometries. T...
