Objective:
To display the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin at the body surface in a virtual human.
Methods:
After defining the acupoints as the control points, chose suitable function interpolation to compose skeleton curve, actualize surface rendering and to rebuild a tube-like meridian model.
Results:
The rebuilt tubular meridian model had a good visual effect, and clearly showed different anatomic structures of the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin.
Conclusion:
We primarily and successfully accomplish the visualization display of the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin in a virtual human, which affords a data carrier for building a meridian research platform.
