Visual Reconstruction and Analysis of the Surface of Earthworm in AVS

Abstract:

This paper describes a method for visual reconstruction and analysis of the surface of earthworm in AVS/Express, Advanced Visual System's new visualization development tool. The digital measurements of surfaces of the earthworm were carried out using a three-dimensional laser scanner. Detailed information on the point clouds, the scanning digital data of the surface of the earthworm were obtained by importing and analyzing those point clouds in AVS/Express. Methods and results presented in this paper proved to be potentially useful for analyzing the feature of biological prototype, optimizing the mathematical model and affording deformable physical model to bionic engineering, this would have significant implications to the research of biological coupling theory and technological creation in bionic engineering.
