GOMEZ-MORA, Miller  y  FLOREZ-VALENCIA, Leonardo. Modeling of Heterogeneous Objects: An Approach Based on Implicit Functions. Tecnura [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.47, pp.15-27. ISSN 0123-921X.  https://doi.org/10.14483/udistrital.jour.tecnura.2016.1.a01.

Modeling objects, their properties and relations is an important topic in computer science. In this sense, this research contributes to the framework of heterogeneous solid modeling, as well as the popular and intricate study of implicit solid representation. The approach presented here is broad and generic, but this article will focus on bio-CAD models, alluding to the existing extension and implementation in other fields. The overall aim of this work is to demonstrate that solid models of heterogeneous object can be built implicitly. This is shown to have promise in practical applications from biomedical computing to computer animation and engineering. The approach adopted here is based on the observation that current solid models cannot intrinsically represent multiphase geometric information along with the attribute information. This makes necessary to explore new modeling techniques in order to represent real-world objects. The availability of such modeling techniques remains central to the design, analysis, and fabrication of heterogeneous objects.

Palabras clave : Geometric modeling; heterogeneous objects; implicit representation.
