Extracting Surface Curvature from Noisy Scan Data
نویسنده
چکیده
In general, the noise that is present in real-world 3D surface scan data prevents accurate curvature calculation. In this paper we show how curvature can be extracted from noisy data by applying filtering after a noisy curvature calculation. To this end, we extend the standard Gaussian filter (as used in 2D image processing) by taking adjacent point distances along the scanned surface into account. A brief comparison is made between this new 2.5D Gaussian filter and a standard 2D Gaussian filter using data from the Digital Michelangelo Project.

Extracting lines of curvature from noisy point clouds
We present a robust framework for extracting lines of curvature from point clouds. First, we show a novel approach to denoising the input point cloud using robust statistical estimates of surface normal and curvature which automatically rejects outliers and corrects points by energy minimization. Then the lines of curvature are constructed on the point cloud with controllable density. Our appro...
متن کاملEstimation of Source Location Using Curvature Analysis
A quadratic surface can be fitted to potential-field data within 3×3 windows, which allow us to calculate curvature attributes from its coefficients. Phillips (2007) derived an equation depending on the most negative curvature to obtain the depth and structural index of isolated sources from peak values of special functions. They divided the special functions into two categories: Model-specific...
متن کاملApplication of surface-derived attributes in determining boundaries of potential-field sources
This paper describes an edge detection method based on surface-derived attributes. The surface-derived attributes are widely used in the interpretation ofseismic datain two main categories: (1) derivative attributes including the dip angle and the azimuth; (2) derivative attributes including curvature attributes. In general, the magnitude of the normal curvature of a surface (curvature attri...
متن کاملColon polyp detection using smoothed shape operators: Preliminary results
Computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithms identify locations in computed tomographic (CT) images of the colon that are most likely to contain polyps. Existing CAD methods treat the CT data as a voxelized, volume image. They estimate a curvature-based feature at the mucosal surface voxels. However, curvature is a smooth notion, while our data are discrete and noisy. As a second order differentia...
متن کاملSpider: A robust curvature estimator for noisy, irregular meshes
Surface curvature properties are often as important as surface position in understanding shape. Curvature properties are typically computed at mesh vertices by operating on an associated ring neighbourhood of faces. Such approaches are not well suited to noisy, non-uniformly sampled meshes with irregular tessellations. In this paper, we present a principled approach to curvature estimation that...
