Figure 5:

The smoothing effect of varying the dilation parameter ϱ on the approximation of the connective tissue volume fraction of the lamina cribrosa model. Contour plots of the connective tissue volume fraction for dilation parameter values ϱ = 0.5 (A), ϱ = 2.0 (B), and ϱ = 10.0 (C). The same control point locations and values were used for all three models as shown in Figure 4. The degree of smoothing increased with larger values for ϱ.
