Generalized Interactions Using Virtual Tools within the Spring Framework: Cutting
Bruyns Cynthia D., Montgomery Kevin · Studies in health technology and informatics · 2002
We present schemes for real-time generalized mesh cutting. Starting with the a basic example, we describe the details of implementing cutting on single and multiple surface objects as well as hybrid and volumetric meshes using virtual tools with single and multiple cutting surfaces. These methods have been implemented in a robust surgical simulation environment allowing us to model procedures ranging from animal dissection to cleft lip correction.
