 Description: Context-aware mesh smoothing for biomedical applications
- This is a implementation of the paper "Context-aware mesh smoothing for
- biomedical applications" in Cpp with Python bindings. It can be used to
- smooth meshes generated by binary images to remove its staircase
- artifacts and keep the fine features.
+ Smoothing algorithms allow to reduce artifacts from mesh generation, but often
+ degrade accuracy. The method described in the paper "Context-aware mesh
+ smoothing for biomedical applications" identifies staircase artifacts which
+ result from image inhomogeneities and binary segmentation in medical image
+ data for subsequent removal by adaptive mesh smoothing. Thus, context-aware
+ smoothing enables to adaptively smooth artifact areas, while non-artifact
+ features can be preserved. This is a implementation of this method in Cpp
+ with Python bindings.
