The Visual Hull of Piecewise Smooth Objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The visual hull relates the shape of an object to its silhouettes. This paper develops the theory of the visual hull of piecewise smooth objects, as those used in CAD applications. We show that the surface of the visual hull can be constructed using patches of nine visual event surfaces of the aspect graph of the object. A detailed analysis allows to prune away many surfaces and patches that are not relevant to the construction. Examples of construction of visual hulls are presented.

On the Convex Hulls of Parametric Plane Curves
Linear-time convex hull algorithms are known to exist for polygons and planar objects bounded by piecewise algebraic curves. Most of the existing algorithms laboriously trace out the so-called “pockets” formed by the concave portions of an object’s boundary. Objects bounded by general parametric curves have been excluded from the previous study partly because the nature of computation is seemin...
متن کاملThe Visual Hull of Curved Objects
The visual hull is a geometric tool which relates the 3D shape of a concave object to its silhouettes or shadows. This paper develops the theory of the visual hull of objects bounded by smooth curved surfaces. From the basic definitions of visual hull we determine the surfaces which bound the visual hull of such objects. We show that these surfaces are patches of some surfaces which partition t...
متن کاملOn Computing the Convex Hull of (Piecewise) Spherical Objects
We utilize support functions to transform the problem of constructing the convex hull of a finite set of spherical objects into the problem of computing the upper envelope of piecewise linear functions. This approach is particularly suited if the objects are (possibly intersecting) circular arcs in the plane or spheres in three-space.

متن کاملPlanelet Transform: A New Geometrical Wavelet for Compression of Kinect-like Depth Images
With the advent of cheap indoor RGB-D sensors, proper representation of piecewise planar depth images is crucial toward an effective compression method. Although there exist geometrical wavelets for optimal representation of piecewise constant and piecewise linear images (i.e. wedgelets and platelets), an adaptation to piecewise linear fractional functions which correspond to depth variation ov...
