RSM3D by Fachhochschule Wiesbaden

RSM3D is a modular software framework for 3d reconstruction from very few X-ray images, which may be virtually freely distributed in 3D space with respect to one another.

RSM3D uses Coin3D, SimVoleon and SoQt for visualisation and analysis of reconstructed 3d datasets.

The fundamental idea of the project, the reference sphere method (RSM, Patent DE 10145861), allows registering radiographs from virtually arbitrary geometries into a single coordinate system. Basing on this information, 3d structure is subsequently reconstructed from very few (≥ 3) 2d radiographs.

The RSM3D software framework was developed at the University of Applied Sciences Wiesbaden, in close collaboration with the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz.

Coin3D, SimVoleon and SoQt are used to navigate through the object space (zoom, rotate, translate), to view arbitrary slices and to manually create transfer functions, which are displayed in real-time.
