Abstract
We present a differential geometric approach for cylindrical anatomical surface reconstruction from 3D volumetric data that may have missing slices or discontinuities. We extract planar boundaries from the 2D image slices, and parameterize them by an indexed set of curves. Under the SRVF framework, the curves are represented as invariant elements of a nonlinear shape space. Differently from standard approaches, we use tools such as exponential maps and geodesics from Riemannian geometry and solve the problem of surface reconstruction by fitting paths through the given curves. Experimental results show the surface reconstruction of smooth endometrial tissue shapes generated from MRI slices.
