Three dimensional image processing is described for example, for digital rendering of real-world objects, medical imaging applications and digital effects rendering. In an example, a 3D image processing apparatus takes a binary volume representation of a three dimensional image and forms an embedding function substantially consistent with the binary volume. In examples, the embedding function is smoothed by regularizing the at least second order derivatives and optimized using a convex optimization engine. In an embodiment the optimized embedding function is used to create a surface representation of the three dimensional object using an iso-surface extraction engine. In another embodiment the surface representation may be directly rendered on a display using volume rendering techniques.
