Abstract: Methods and systems related to dynamic visualization of a representation of a three dimensional object are provided. In some embodiments, a computer system accesses a volumetric dataset representing the object. The computer system applies a set of one or more light rays/vectors to the volumetric data-set representing the object and generates a plurality of intermediate images, each intermediate image of the plurality of intermediate images corresponding to each of the one or more light vectors applied to the volumetric data-set representing an object. The computer system generates an accumulated image based on the plurality of intermediate images. The computer system determines whether a user has manipulated the accumulated image within a predetermined amount of time and in accordance with a determination that the user has manipulated the accumulated image within a predetermined amount of time, updates the accumulated image based on a user manipulation.

Abstract: Methods and systems related to dynamic visualization of a representation of a first three-dimensional (3D) object are provided. In some embodiments, a computer system receives a request for facilitating identification of the representation of the first 3D object based on a plurality of images. The plurality of images represents datasets associated with a series of slices of a second 3D object. The computer system identifies a current image of the plurality of images based on the request. The current image represents a dataset associated with a current slice of the series of slices. The computer system displays, in absence of additional user input, two or more images of the plurality of images to facilitate visualization of the representation of the first 3D object. The two or more images include the current image and one or more images representing datasets associated with neighboring slices of the current slice.

Abstract: Methods and systems related to variation assessment of a first 3D object are provided. In some embodiments, a computer system obtains a first dataset and a second dataset. The first dataset represents data associated with a first evaluation of the first 3D object and the second dataset represents data associated with a second evaluation of the first 3D object. The computer system determines a first metric based on the first dataset and a second metric based on the second dataset. The first and second metrics represent distributions of probabilities with respect to values associated with the characteristic of the first 3D object at the first and second evaluations, respectively. The computer system further provides, based on the first metric and the second metric, an assessment of the first 3D object variation between the first evaluation and the second evaluation.

Abstract: According to one aspect, systems and processes for resampling data for 3D printing from voxels are provided. In an exemplary process, a native resolution dataset representing an object to be printed is received. A first slice of data from the native resolution dataset is up-sampled, and first up-sampled data is communicated to a 3D printer for printing. Next, a second slice of data from the native resolution dataset is up-sampled, and second up-sampled data is communicated to the 3D printer for printing. Furthermore, the second slice of data may be up-sampled subsequent to the up-sampling of the first slice of data or subsequent to the communicating of the first up-sampled data to the 3D printer.

Abstract: Methods and systems related to image segmentation are disclosed. In some examples, a computer system obtains segmentation parameters based on a selection of a region of a displayed image. The selection of the region is associated with a select signal generated by an input device. In response to obtaining the segmentation parameters, the computer system processes the image based on the segmentation parameters. The computer system further adjusts the segmentation parameters based on one or more move signals generated by the input device. The move signal is associated with moving of a representation of the input device within the image. The computer system processes the image based on the one or more adjusted segmentation parameters and displays an image of the selected region based on the processing of the image using the adjusted segmentation parameters.
