Irregular to Completely Regular Meshing in Computer Graphics

چکیده
Irregular to Completely Regular Meshing in Computer Graphics This talk will provide a quick overview of meshing structures used in computer graphics. Maximizing rendering performance is a key goal, and irregular meshes provide the greatest geometric fidelity for a given mesh complexity. Level-ofdetail representations like progressive meshes allow selective refinement of such meshes even in real-time applications. Semi-regular meshes, defined using a mesh subdivision process, offer simpler data structures, and can converge to smooth limit surfaces. Finally, geometry images describe an arbitrary surface using completely regular remeshing, thus storing only a 2D array of points. The simplicity of such geometry images is ideally suited for implementation in graphics hardware.

From stereoscopic images to semi-regular meshes
The pipeline to get the semi-regular mesh of a specific physical object is long and fastidious : physical acquisition (creating a dense point cloud), cleaning/meshing (creating an irregular triangle mesh), and semi-regular remeshing. Moreover, these three stages are generally independent, and processed successively by different tools. To overcome this issue, we propose in this paper a new frame...
متن کاملParallel Progressive Radiosity with Adaptive Meshing
Progressive radiosity is widely used for realistic image synthesis in computer graphics applications. High-quality image generation usually requires radiosity with adaptive patch refinement to account for global illumination effects from irregular objects whose proximity varies in a 3D space. Parallelizing such an algorithm is difficult since computation cost for each object varies from one ite...
متن کاملAvoiding Errors In Progressive Tetrahedralizations
This paper describes some fundamental issues for robust implementations of progressively refined tetrahedralizations generated through sequences of edge collapses. We address the definition of appropriate cost functions and explain on various tests which are necessary to preserve the consistency of the mesh when collapsing edges. Although being considered a special case of progressive simplicia...

متن کاملGeodesic Methods in Computer Vision and Graphics
This paper reviews both the theory and practice of the numerical computation of geodesic distances on Riemannian manifolds . The notion of Riemannian manifold allows one to define a local metric (a symmetric positive tensor field) that encodes the information about the problem one wishes to solve. This takes into account a local isotropic cost (whether some point should be avoided or not) and a...
