Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The conventional approach to creating 3D surfaces from 2D medical images is the marching cube algorithm, but it often results in rough surfaces. On the other hand, B-spline curves and nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBSs) offer a smoother alternative for 3D surface reconstruction. However, NURBSs use control points (CTPs) to define the object shape and corners play an important role in defining the boundary shape as well. Thus, in order to fill the research gap in applying corner detection (CD) methods to generate the most favorable CTPs, in this paper corner points are identified to predict organ shape. However, CTPs must …
