3D Shape Modelling through a Constrained Estimation of a Bicubic B-spline Surface

چکیده
This paper presents a new method to extract the 3D shape of objects from 3D gray level images using a bicubic B-spline surface model. Extraction of object shape is achieved through a hierarchical surface fitting by exploiting the multi-scale representation of the model. A strategy for converting the surface estimation into curve estimations is devised. The model surface is estimated by successively computing a set of cubic B-spline curves consisting of a coordinate curve net defining the surface. A regularising component is incorporated into the curve estimation to encourage the generation of an orthogonal coordinate curve net, preventing the creation of unwanted creases. Experimental results are presented for extracting the 3D shape of objects from real 3D images.

This paper considers the problem of approximating a digitized surface in R3 with a hierarchical bicubic B-spline to produce a manipulatable surface for further modelling or animation. The 3D data's original mapping from R2 (multiple rows of cylindrical scans) is mapped into the parametric domain of the B-spline (also in R2) using a modified chord-length parameterization. This mapping is used to...
متن کاملShape Improvement of Surfaces
An automatic and local fairing algorithm for bicubic Bspline surfaces is proposed. A local fairness criterion selects the knot, where the spline surface has to be faired. A fairing step is than applied, which locally modi es the control net by a constrained least-squares approximation. It consists of increasing locally the smoothness of the surface from C to C. Some extensions of this method ar...

We present a second order smooth filling of an n-valent Catmull-Clark spline ring with n biseptic patches. While an underdetermined biseptic solution to this problem has appeared previously, we make several advances in this paper. Most notably, we cast the problem as a constrained minimization and introduce a novel quadratic energy functional whose absolute minimum of zero is achieved for bicub...
متن کاملB-Spline Surface Approximation to Cross-Sections Using Distance Maps
The shape reconstruction of a 3D object from its 2D crosssections is important for reproducing it by NC machining or rapid prototyping. In this paper, we present a method of surface approximation to cross-sections with multiple branching problems. In this method, we first decompose each multiple branching problem into a set of single branching problems by providing a set of intermediate contour...
