Abstract

In the present chapter, we present a method for modelling smooth surfaces on the basis of stacks of boundaries taken from serial sections. We also present a method for automatically defining the outer closed boundary of tight clusters of points; the defined boundaries are in turn used for a surface modelling. We exemplify the use of our methods with material of physical sections from the field of experimental brain research. The surfaces modelled represent the exterior of the brain, internal regions, and zones containing specifically labelled tissue elements coded as point clusters.
