ABSTRACT:
A system that obtains thin slices of an object for which a three dimensional model is to be constructed. Each slice is photographed and the photographic image data input to a computer system and placed in a three dimensional array, wherein the X-Y pixel data is placed into two dimensions of the array, with each slice occupying one position of the third dimension. The data stored for each slice is called a reference plane. The array data is then processed to create at least one estimated plane between each pair of reference planes. Each estimated plane is created by determining the poisson distribution of data over a range of planes on either side of the estimated plane. Once the estimated places have been created, a z-axis plane can be created using a columnar slice at each X position within the array.
