MeshToSS: Converting Subdivision Surfaces from Dense Meshes
نویسنده
چکیده
The theoretical aspects are discussed of our developed software, MeshToSS, for the conversion to Loop subdivision surfaces of dense triangular meshes. This software generates subdivision surfaces that approximate to their original mesh. The output is either a control mesh or its subdivided mesh applied to the Loop subdivision scheme. Our simple approach for the conversion is based on a well-known mesh simplification technique that applies a sequence of edge collapse operations. We show that this enables fast and flexible conversion to subdivision surfaces.

Reverse Engineering Using a Subdivision Surface Scheme
Subdivision surfaces are finding their way into many Computer Aided Design and Animation packages. Popular choices include Loop, Catmull-Clark, Doo-Sabin etc. Subdivision surfaces have many design advantages over traditional use of NURBs. NURB surfaces always are problematic when multiple patches meet. Reverse engineering (RE) is associated with the idea of scanning physical objects and represe...
متن کاملA Shrink Wrapping Approach to Remeshing Polygonal Surfaces
Due to their simplicity and flexibility, polygonal meshes are about to become the standard representation for surface geometry in computer graphics applications. Some algorithms in the context of multiresolution representation and modeling can be performed much more efficiently and robustly if the underlying surface tesselations have the special subdivision connectivity. In this paper, we propo...
متن کاملFitting Sharp Features with Loop Subdivision Surfaces
Various methods have been proposed for fitting subdivision surfaces to different forms of shape data (e.g., dense meshes or point clouds), but none of these methods effectively deals with shapes with sharp features, that is, creases, darts and corners. We present an effective method for fitting a Loop subdivision surface to a dense triangle mesh with sharp features. Our contribution is a new ex...
متن کاملREVERSE LOOP SUBDIVISION FOR GEOMETRY AND TEXTURES
Reverse subdivision aims at constructing a coarser representation of an object given by a fine polygon mesh. In this paper, we first derive a mask for reverse Loop subdivision that can be applied to both regular and extraordinary vertices. The mask is parameterized, and thus can also be used in reversing variants of Loop subdivision, such as those proposed by Warren and Litke. We apply this mas...
متن کاملA Tool for Subdivision of Quad/Tri Meshes with Sharp Features
Designers often want the added flexibility of having both quads and triangles in their models. It is also well known that triangle meshes generate poor limit surfaces when using a quad scheme, while quadonly meshes behave poorly with triangular schemes. Further, regular subdivision produces smooth surfaces even from sharp-cornered base meshes and sometimes sharpness in the subdivision surface i...
