On surface normal and Gaussian curvature approximations given data sampled from a smooth surface
نویسندگان
چکیده
Approximations to the surface normal and to the Gaussian curvature of a smooth surface are often required when the surface is defined by a set of discrete points. The accuracy of an approximation can be measured using asymptotic analysis. The errors of several approximations to the surface normal and to the Gaussian curvature are compared. 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Application 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 کاملUltra-Sharpening of Diamond Stylus by 500 eV O+/O2 + Ion Beam Machining without Facet and Ripple Formation
The price of single point diamond tools with a sharp tip is very high due to complex machining process and highly expensive machining equipments. Yet, the performance is not quite satisfactory. In this paper, we have presented a very simple and cost effective machining process for the sharpening and polishing of diamond stylus using low energy reactive ion beam machining (RIBM). In our method, ...
متن کاملMinimizing Absolute Gaussian Curvature Locally
One of the remaining challenges when reconstructing a surface from a finite sample is recovering non-smooth surface features like sharp edges. There is practical evidence showing that a two step approach could be an aid to this problem, namely, first computing a polyhedral reconstruction isotopic to the sampled surface, and secondly minimizing the absolute Gaussian curvature of this reconstruct...
متن کاملA Curvature Based Invariant for Object Recognition Derived from Covariance of Photometric Values
An invariant local descriptor of smooth object surfaces is Gaussian curvature. We present an object signature which is a condensed representation related to the object’s Gaussian curvature distribution over visible points. An invariant related to Gaussian curvature at an object point is developed based upon the covariance matrix of photometric values related to surface normals within a local ne...
متن کاملNormal Vector Voting: Crease Detection and Curvature Estimation on Large, Noisy Meshes
This paper describes a robust method for crease detection and curvature estimation on large, noisy triangle meshes. We assume that these meshes are approximations of piecewise-smooth surfaces derived from range or medical imaging systems and thus may exhibit measurement or even registration noise. The proposed algorithm, which we call normal vector voting, uses an ensemble of triangles in the g...
