Surface-fitting Algorithms

Surface-fitting Fundamentals

Contour Tracking

Opaque Cubes

Marching Cubes

Dividing Cubes

Marching Tetrahedra

Comparison of Surface-fitting Methods

• Contour Tracking Has Limited Use
• Dividing Cubes is Best if Rendering Hardware is NA
• Dividing Cubes Does Not Have To Clip Triangles
• Triangles are Usually Pixel Sized Anyway
• Tetrahedra Reduce Ambiguity
