Simple silhouettes for complex surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complex meshes tend to have intricate, detailed silhouettes. This paper proposes two algorithms for extracting a simpler, approximate silhouette from a high-resolution model. Our methods preserve the important features of the silhouette by using the silhouette of a coarser, simplified mesh as a guide. Our simple silhouettes have significantly fewer edges than the original silhouette, while still preserving its appearance.

Structure and Motion from Silhouettes
Silhouettes (or outlines) are often a dominant image feature, and can be extracted relatively easily and reliably. They provide rich information about both the shape and motion of an object, and are indeed the only information available in the case of smooth textureless surfaces. Nonetheless, due to the viewpoint dependence of silhouettes, they do not readily provide point correspondences, and ...
متن کاملRobust and Fast Modelling of 3D Natural Objects from Multiple Views
An algorithm for the robust and fast automatic construction of a 3D model of any real object using images from multiple views is presented. The images are taken from a real object rotating in front of a stationary calibrated CCD TV camera. The object silhouettes extracted from the input images, the related turntable positions and camera orientation are used to construct the volume model of the ...
متن کاملHow Many 2D Silhouettes Does It Take to Reconstruct a 3D Object?
R is a bounding volume which more or less closely approximates O, depending on the viewpoints and the object A 2D silhouette of a 3D object O constrains O inside the volume obtained by back-projecting the silhouette from the itself. For perspective projection the regions Ci are cones viewpoint. A set of silhouettes specifies a boundary volume R, obtained by back-projecting from a viewpoint V th...
متن کاملVisualizing the Evolutions of Silhouettes
Silhouettes play a crucial role in visualization, graphics and vision. This work focuses on the global behaviors of silhouettes, especially their topological evolutions, such as their splitting, merging, appearing and disappearing. The dynamics of silhouettes are governed by the topology, the curvature of the surface, and the viewpoint. Some theoretical results are established: the integration ...
متن کاملCoverage of Isoparametric Curves
A line-art nonphotorealistic rendering scheme of scenes composed of freeform surfaces is presented. A freeform surface coverage is constructed using a set of isoparametric curves. The density of the isoparametric curves is set to be a function of the illumination of the surface determined using a simple shading model, or of regions of special importance such as silhouettes. The outcome is one w...
