Abstract
In this paper, the three-dimensional reconstruction of consecutive brachial plexus slices is discussed. To get precise results, the contour-based re-construction method is adopted. As the contour correspondence problem is of great importance to the reconstruction, a cluster method is firstly used to get rid of the offsets between the contours introduced during the stage of data acquisi-tion. Besides correspondence check, a robust similarity-based correspondence algorithm is proposed which results in an automatic correspondence rate more than 97%.
