I have a set of points representing a 3-dimensional object (The data comes from medical-imaging, from a CT scan). Given a defined boundary, I want to assign some points to the INSIDE of the object and the rest to the OUTSIDE of the object. I expect this needs triangulation and then some kind of 'region growing' but before I start I wanted to ask if anyone has solved a similar problem (or point me to some literature). Thanx Philipp P.S.: the number of points is HUGE, so the algorithm has got to be efficient.
