Determining Surface Geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
A structured light system provides a dense sampling of 3D coordinates from visible surfaces in a scene. This paper compares several methods for determining the principle frame, Gaussian curvature, and mean curvature at each visible surface point from this data. The principle frame, etc, parameterize a model which completely characterizes the local surface geometry. Given the local surface model, surface folds and discontinuities such as occlusion boundaries can be detected, and the inter-lying surface regions classiied by type (parabolic, elliptic, hyperbolic, elliptic). This data can be used to identify features on the objects, such as bumps, and determine surface properties, such as symmetry axes. Methods for performing such segmentation are discussed.

Investigating the Effect of Joint Geometry of the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Process on the Residual Stress and Distortion using the Finite Element Method
Although a few models have been proposed for 3D simulation of different welding processes, 2D models are still more effective in design goals, thus more popular due to the short-time analysis. In this research, replacing "time" by the "third dimension of place", the gas tungsten arc welding process was simulated by the finite element method in two dimensions and in a short time with acceptable ...

متن کاملThe Object Complexity Model for Hidden-Surface Removal
We deene a new model of complexity, called object complexity, for measuring the performance of hidden-surface removal algorithms. This model is more appropriate for predicting the performance of these algorithms on current graphics rendering systems than the standard measure of scene complexity used in computational geometry. We also consider the problem of determining the set of visible window...
متن کاملDetermining Surface Type From Surface Normals
By exploiting the relationship which exists between the Gaussian image and gradient space, the two representations can be utilized in conjunction to facilitate the interpretation of a set of surface normals. The projection of the Gaussian image onto a plane can provide clear traces which quickly yield general knowledge of the underlying surface.
