Interactive surface decomposition for polyhedral morphing

Polyhedral surface decomposition with applications

This paper addresses the problem of decomposing a polyhedral surface into “meaningful” patches. We describe two decomposition algorithms – flooding convex decomposition and watershed decomposition, and show experimental results. Moreover, we discuss three applications which can highly benefit from surface decomposition. These applications include content-based retrieval of threedimensional mode...

Feature-based Surface Decomposition for Correspondence and Morphing Between Polyhedra

We present a new approach for establishing correspondence between two homeomorphic 3D polyhedral models. The user can specify corresponding feature pairs on the polyhedra with a simple and intuitive interface. Based on these features, our algorithm decomposes the boundary of each polyhedron into the same number of morphing patches. A 2D mapping for each morphing patch is computed in order to me...

Morphing Three Dimensional Polyhedral Objects

CyberTape: an interactive measurement tool on polyhedral surface

Polyhedral mesh surfaces are widely utilized to represent objects reconstructed from 3D ranged images. In computer-aided engineering, it is desired to not only observe but also measure these three-dimensional objects. This paper presents an approach to measure the curve distance between two points on a polyhedral surface in the manner that simulates dragging a tapeline at the two points. After ...

An Interactive Framework for Component-based Morphing

Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, A/P Tan Tiow Seng, for his invaluable guidance in my research. What I have learnt from him is not only how to actively tackle research difficulties and explore original solutions, but also the research philosophy, which will benefit me forever. I would also like to acknowledge my gratitude to A/P Teh Hung Chuan and Dr. Hu...
