title: LIP-model-based three-dimensional reconstruction and visualization of HIV-infected entire cells.
abstract: This paper presents a global solution from acquisition to visualization for the three-dimensional reconstruction of cell sections. Original techniques are proposed for the correct handling of geometrical section distortions, and a new interpretation based on the logarithmic image processing (LIP) model is applied in order to create normalized grey-level sections where these are missing. Finally, a new method for generating a mesh of triangles to describe the envelope of the reconstructed cell is proposed, as well as a visualization mixing image synthesis and grey-level information. The product allows the user to explore the reconstructed cellular block in any desired direction, by showing user-defined grey-level sections inside the block mixed to a synthetic view of the cell envelope.
