The Helfrich theory of membrane bending, supported by molecular dynamics simulations, is a promising approach for evaluating ...

We present an efficient protocol for robust detection of 3D blobs from volumetric datasets. The approach has three steps. The first step of the process detects elliptic features by classifying the ...

The solution of elliptic partial differential equations arises in 3D surface reconstruction and active contours. Most current approaches are iterative including finite element methods (FEM) and finite ...

They represent two double cones, one (in yellow) with equal ellipses at both ends and the other (in red) with circles at both ends. The major axis of the elliptic cone is the same length as the radius ...

Joining these with strings (all the strings of this example are missing) would produce a double cone. Joining other pieces on the top and sides would produce part of a double elliptic cone. Joining ...
