摘要: Abstract Marching Cubes methods first offered visual access to experimental and theoretical volumetric data. The implementation of this method usually relies on a small look-up table; many enhancements optimizations still use it. However, table can lead cracks inconsistent topology. This paper introduces full Chernyaev's technique ensure topologically correct result, i.e., manifold mesh, for any input It completes the original ambiguity resolution feasibility implementation. Moreover, cube interpolation provided here be used in wider range methods. source code is available online.
