SARDF: Signed Approximate Real Distance Functions in Heterogeneous Objects Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distribution of material density and other properties of heterogeneous objects can be parametrized by the Euclidean distance function from the object boundary or from special material features. For objects constructed using geometric primitives and set-theoretic operations, an approximation of the distance function can be obtained in a constructive manner by applying special compositing operations to the distance functions of primitives. We describe such operations based on a smooth approximation of min/max functions and prove their C continuity. These operations on distance functions are called SARDF operations for Signed Approximate Distance Functions. We illustrate their applications by 2D and 3D objects models with heterogeneous material distribution.

Constructive heterogeneous object modeling using signed approximate real distance functions
We introduce a smooth approximation of the min / max operations, called SARDF (Signed Approximate Real Distance Function), for maintaining an approximate signed distance function in constructive shape modeling. We apply constructive distance-based shape modeling to design objects with heterogeneous material distribution in the constructive hypervolume model framework. The introduced distance ap...
متن کاملInteractive modeling of implicit surfaces using a direct visualization approach with signed distance functions
Modeling appealing virtual scenes is an elaborate and time-consuming task, requiring not only training and experience, but also powerful modeling tools providing the desired functionality to the user. In this paper, we describe a modeling approach using signed distance functions as an underlying representation for objects, handling both conventional and complex surface manipulations. Scenes def...
متن کاملDistance to objects built with set operations in constructive solid modeling
We present in this paper methods to compute the signed Euclidean distance to surfaces obtained by the intersection (respectively union or difference) of two solids (in two or three dimensions). These implementations can replace min/max or R-functions traditionally used to model set operations used with implicit surfaces.
متن کاملSigned distance fields for polygon soup meshes
Many meshes in computer animation practice are meant to approximate solid objects, but the provided triangular geometry is often unoriented, non-manifold or contains self-intersections, causing inside/outside of objects to be mathematically ill-defined. We describe a robust and efficient automatic approach to define and compute a signed distance field for arbitrary triangular geometry. Starting...
متن کاملReconstruction of Real-World Objects via Simultaneous Registration and Robust Combination of Multiple Range Images
Range nder devices are quite useful to measure the geometry of real world objects How ever the reconstruction of large and complicated objects often requires the acquisition of multiple range images showing di erent views of the object With our reconstruction method the relative orientations of all range images are determined via simultaneous registration of all range images The registration pr...
