Objective

We are developing fast FEM-based mesh deformation algos for interactive simulation and segmentation. The goal in this project week is summarized as

• integrate linear FEM-based deformation algo into the slicer
• perform simulation on specific data
• implement GPU-based acceleration for real-time deformation

Approach, Plan

First, I will integrate liner FEM solver(C++ source) to the 3D slicer framework. Secondly, I will check the simulation on some specific mesh models. I can create a tetrahedral mesh and set up physical conditions from medical volume data or some other mesh formats. I will also try GPU-based acceleration by modifying the linear equation solver using CUBLAS library.
