VOXEL [6 records]

Record 1 2025-03-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Graphics
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

A method is described for local modification of voxel models. A voxel is a volume element.

OBS

voxel model: data validated by Canadian subject-field experts from École Polytechnique de Montréal, MasterpieceVR and McGill University.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Infographie
  • Collaboration avec l'OMPI

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Gráficos de computadora
  • Colaboración con la OMPI
CONT

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.

Record 2 2020-02-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Materials Engineering
  • Computer Programs and Programming
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
DEF

Any of a number of very small elements that make up a three-dimensional image, as on a visual display unit.

CONT

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.

CONT

[..] sabiendo que cada vóxel posee un valor de propiedad que se puede interpretar como el nivel de ocupación de material en dicho espacio, se puede considerar que, con el empuje adecuado, el material se desplaza de forma macroscópica de un vóxel a otro vecino, realizándose una transferencia efectiva de partículas.
