Modelo de vóxeles. Se construye a partir de las ROI [regiones de interés] segmentadas en dos dimensiones, representadas por imágenes (máscaras) binarias. Cada píxel se transforma en un vóxel de acuerdo a su posición en el "z-stack", y se agrupa con sus vecinos en una ROI tridimensional. 1, record 1, Spanish, - modelo%20de%20v%C3%B3xeles

In programmable matter, a voxel is a fundamental unit from which complex devices could be built. A voxel could be a synthetic particle of varying size made from materials ranging from silicon to ceramics to plastics to titanium. Voxels could be tailored to behave as any one of a wide range of subsystems–an energy-storage device, an insulator, a protective shell, an antenna or even a microcomputer. Voxels could be assembled and, together, programmed to change shape or function and collectively form different objects. 2, record 2, English, - voxel
