Research on Three-Dimensional Reconstruction of Ribs Based on Point Cloud Adaptive Smoothing Denoising.

The traditional methods for 3D reconstruction mainly involve using image processing techniques or deep learning segmentation models for rib extraction. After post-processing, voxel-based rib reconstruction is achieved. However, these methods suffer from limited reconstruction accuracy and low computational efficiency. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a 3D rib reconstruction method based on point cloud adaptive smoothing and denoising. We converted voxel data from CT images to multi-attribute point cloud data. Then, we applied point cloud adaptive smoothing and denoising methods to eliminate noise and non-rib points in the point cloud. Additionally, efficient 3D reconstruction and post-processing techniques were employed to achieve high-accuracy and comprehensive 3D rib reconstruction results. Experimental calculations demonstrated that compared to voxel-based 3D rib reconstruction methods, the 3D rib models generated by the proposed method achieved a 40% improvement in reconstruction accuracy and were twice as efficient as the former.
