	Level set method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Also, the level set method makes it very easy to follow shapes which change topology, for example when a shape splits in two, develops holes, or the reverse of these operations.
		The boundary of the shape is then the zero level set of φ, while the shape itself is the set of points in the plane for which φ is positive or zero.
		The level set method was developed in the 1980s by the American mathematicians Stanley Osher and James Sethian and ever since it became very popular in many disciplines, such as image processing, computer graphics, computational geometry, optimization, and computational fluid dynamics.

	Level set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, a level set of a real-valued function f of n variables is a set of the form
		When the number of variables is two, this is a level curve (contour line), if it is three this is a level surface, and for higher values of n the level set is a level hypersurface.
		The gradient of f at a point is perpendicular to the level set of f at that point.

	Fast Marching Methods and Level Set Methods: A Fast Introduction ------------------------------------------- Level Set ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Level Set Methods are designed for problems in which the speed function can be positive in some places are negative in others, so that the front can move forwards in some places and backwards in others.
		The motion of the interface is matched with the zero level set of the level set function, and the resulting initial value partial differential equation for the evolution of the level set function resembles a Hamilton-Jacobi equation.
		In this setting, curvatures and normals may be easily evaluated, topological changes occur in a natural manner, and the technique extends trivially to three dimensions.

	Level Set Models
		There are two different approaches to defining a deformable surface from a level set of a volumetric function as described in Equation (9).
		Level set models have a number of practical and theoretical advantages over conventional surface models, especially in the context of deformation and segmentation.
		Level set models are topologically flexible; they easily represent complicated surface shapes that can, form holes, split to form multiple objects, or merge with other objects to form a single structure.

	A LEVEL SET APPROACH FOR THE METAMORPHOSIS OF SOLID MODELS
		Such level set models have been shown to mimic conventional parametric deformable surface models by encoding surface movements as changes in the grey-scale values of the volume.
		Level set models are active, as their underlying motion is defined algorithmically rather than interactively.
		For this we use the method of level set models, which is a technique for modeling surfaces as isovalues of a densely sampled scalar function of the domain.

	Glossary: Level Set (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The level set of a surface M in the direction z at the height c is the inverse image of c under the height function on M induced by the direction z.
		For a closed surface, the level set will generally be a collection of closed curves.
		As the height passes a critical level the topology of the level set will change, usually by changing the number of components of the level set.

	Level Set Methods (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The level set method was initially proposed to track moving interfaces by Osher et Sethian in 1988 and have spread across various imaging domains in the late nighties.
		The central idea is represent the evolving contour using a signed function, where its zero level corresponds to the actual contour.
		The level set method encodes numerous advantages: it is implicit, parameter free, provides a direct way to estimate the geometric properties of the evolving structure, can change the topology and is intrinsic.

	Level-Set Metamorphosis Goes Hollywood - Feature Story - Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute
		This new morphing approach [Breen and Whitaker, 2001] uses level set methods in which a shape is described by a function that is sequentially optimized based on the object's similarity to the target.
		This morphing technique relies on the sparse-field algrorithm for representing level sets (Whitaker, 1998), which computes solutions on a very narrow band of grid points near the surface, and maintains these points on a linked list.
		The level set morphing was done between two RLE Sparse Level Sets -- one representing the animated Tar Monster and another representing an animated hand figure.

	Setting Sound System Level Controls
		Setting all the various level controls is not difficult; however, it remains a very misunderstood topic.
		The lower limit is set by the HVAC and audience noise, while the upper end is determined by the comfort level of the audience.
		Level controls for equalizers: the need to provide make-up gain in the case where significant cutting of the signal makes it too small, or the opposite case, where a lot of boosting makes the overall signal too large, requiring attenuation.

	RLE Sparse Level Sets - a flexible & scalable level set representation
		This compact level set representation, and it's ability to represent animated characters, was used in the creation of the "Tar Monster" CG character featured in the movie Scooby Doo 2.
		The format of the RLE sparse level set structure is as follows: Essentially, each row of the level set is considered as a stream of data, and we use a run-length encoding of the row based on its value.
		Indexing into individual level set rows is performed using a simple table lookup based on the 2 coordinates perpendicular to the axis of compression.

		A coupled level set method for the motion of multiple junctions (of, e.g., solid, liquid, and grain boundaries), which follows the gradient flow for an energy functional consisting of surface tension (proportional to length) and bulk energies (proportional to area), is developed.
		The approach combines the level set method of S. Osher and J. Sethian with a theoretical variational formulation of the motion by F. Reitich and H. Sonar.
		The resulting method uses as many level set functions as there are regions and the energy functional is evaluated entirely in terms of level set functions.

	Level Set Method Toolbox
		Level set methods are a class of numerical algorithms for simulation of dynamic implicit surfaces and approximation of solutions to the Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) partial differential equation (PDE).
		Compared to their competitors, level set methods can be relatively easy to implement.
		Note that numerical instability (the level set function blows up) is usually caused by incorrect driver code (initialization, boundary conditions, dynamics or CFL choice), not by kernel code.

		The level set method advects the free surface variable using the SEM method and then reinitialises the level sets so that they represent the distance from the interface.
		During this stage the zero level set, which represents the position of the interface, does not move but all other sets are recalculated.
		NOTE: The donor acceptor scheme should not be used when performing the advection stage of the level set method.

	Level Set Methods, Distance Function and Image Segmentation
		In the study of level set methods, several significant problems were neglected all along, such as the existence, uniqueness and singularities of level set methods.
		In this article we give the proof that in a neighborhood of the initial zero level set, for the level set equations with the restriction of distance function, there exists a unique solution, which must be the signed distance function with respect to the evolving surface.
		We also present the analysis of singular points' effect on level set evolution and give an adaptive narrow banding algorithm.
