Understanding 3D visualization

I was going through a journal called the 3D Visualization For Blood Cells Analysis Versus Edge Detection by Dr.Qussay A. Salih.

Basically it is trying to tell the story of blood analysis using 1D, 2D and 3D techniques, with emphasize on the benefits of 3D visualization over blood cell analysis.

1D = Impedence Analysis and Flow Crytometry
2D= Edge detection
3D = 3D

what is interesting is that it actually guides you through the process of 3D visualization from a captured image source, whereby...

2D captured image --> enhancement processing --> Edge Detection --> Edged 2D image --> Enhancement processing --> binary segmentation --> zero-order interpolation --> 3D plot surface --> 3D visualization.

Also, it gives you the idea of relationship between mathemtics, functional theories and software development.

This is a good paper to illustrate the application of computer science.
