Abstract
A method and device to simulate, visualize and compare 3D surfacesMethod and device to visualize a composition of two matched surface models (M1) and (M2) in order to privilege the visualization of the silhouette of the second representation (R2) of the second surface model (M2), that is, the surface elements which are the most tangent to the viewing direction defined by the optical center (C) of a virtual camera and the point (P) of the surface of the second surface model (M2) considered, and to visualize it by transparency on top of the first surface model (M1).The disclosure is intended in particular to compare anatomical subjects before and after simulation or surgical or aesthetic procedures.
