title = "Individualized geometric model from unorganized 3-D points: an application to thorax modeling",
abstract = "An accurate surface model is necessary in many biomedical applications. An anatomic volume, like MR volume, is not always available. In this paper, we compare different, mainly previously published, registration methods that can be used to generate an individual geometric model when the only information on the patient is a set of digitized marker points from the surface of the skin. In addition, direrent aspects of 3-D point selections are studied. The comparison is performed using 22 manually segmented thorax MR volume images.",
