Overview
Physics-Based Deformable Models presents a systematic physics-based framework for modeling rigid, articulated, and deformable objects, their interactions with the physical world, and the estimation of their shape and motion from visual data. This book presents a large variety of methods and associated experiments in computer vision, graphics and medical imaging that help the reader better understand the presented material. In addition, special emphasis has been given to the development of techniques with interactive or close to real-time performance. Physics-Based Deformable Models is suitable as a secondary text for a graduate level course on Computer Graphics, Computational Physics, Computer Vision, Medical Imaging, or Biomedical Engineering. In addition, this book is appropriate as a reference for researchers and practitioners in the above mentioned fields.Synopsis

A graduate level reference text presenting a systematic physics-based framework for modeling rigid, articulated, and deformable objects. Metaxas (computer and information science, U. of Pennsylvania) describes the models' interactions with the physical world, and the estimation of their shape and motion from visual data, presenting a variety of methods and experiments in computer vision, graphics and medical imaging, such as a volumetric analysis of the left ventricular wall motion from MRI-SPAMM. The volume features a special emphasis on the development of techniques with interactive or close to real-time performance and numerous illustrations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
