A Comparison of Mesh Morphing Methods for 3D Shape Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ability to automatically morph an existing mesh to conform to geometry modifications is a necessary capability to enable rapid prototyping of design variations. This paper compares six methods for morphing hexahedral and tetrahedral meshes, including the previously published FEMWARP and LBWARP methods as well as four new methods. Element quality and performance results show that different methods are superior on different models. We recommend that designers of applications that use mesh morphing consider both the FEMWARP and a linear simplex based method.

Multiresolution Interpolation Meshes
In this paper, we propose a new multiresolution-based shape representation for 3D mesh morphing. Our approach does not use combination operations that caused some serious problems in the previous approaches for mesh morphing. Therefore, we can calculate a hierarchical interpolation mesh robustly using two types of subdivision fitting schemes. Our new representation has a hierarchical semiregula...
متن کاملA New Compatible Remeshing Approach for 3D Face Construction and Expression Clone
This paper presents a new compatible remeshing approach, by morphing with Radial Basis Function based on approximate geodesic distance (G-RBF) followed by a mesh optimization to generate compatible meshes efficiently while approximating the input target geometry accurately. To test the proposed approach, a prototype is implemented to clone expressions onto the personalized 3D face model. A PCA ...
متن کاملA Data-Driven Approach to Realistic Shape Morphing
Morphing between 3D objects is a fundamental technique in computer graphics. Traditional methods of shape morphing focus on establishing meaningful correspondences and finding smooth interpolation between shapes. Such methods however only take geometric information as input and thus cannot in general avoid producing unnatural interpolation, in particular for large-scale deformations. This paper...
متن کاملA Comparison of Mesh Morphing Methods for Shape Optimization
The modeling and simulation process for design often involves many small iterations through multiple changes to geometry. In an automated setting, geometric characteristics are represented as parameters that are driven via an optimization procedure. The ability to automatically adjust and update an existing mesh to conform to modifications in the geometry is a necessary capability that can enab...
