  abstract =   "We present a locally adaptive marching cubes algorithm. It
               is a modification of the marching cubes algorithm where
               instead of a global iso-value each grid point has its own
               iso-value. This defines an iso-value field, which modifies
               the case identification process in the algorithm. The
               marching cubes algorithm uses linear interpolation to
               compute intersections of the surface with the cell edges.
               Our modification computes the intersection of two general
               line segments, because there is no longer a constant
               iso-value at each cube vertex. An iso-value field enables
               the algorithm to correct biases within the dataset like low
               frequency noise, contrast drifts, local density variations
               and other artefacts introduced by the measurement process.
               It can also be used for blending between different
               isosurfaces (e.g., skin, veins and bone in a medical
               dataset).",
