Triangle mesh-based edge detection and its application to surface segmentation and adaptive surface smoothing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Triangle meshes are widely used in representing surfaces in computer vision and computer graphics. Although 2D image processingbased edge detection techniques have been popular in many application areas, they are not well developed for surfaces represented by triangle meshes. This paper proposes a robust edge detection algorithm for triangle meshes and its applications to surface segmentation and adaptive surface smoothing. The proposed edge detection technique is based on eigen analysis of the surface normal vector field in a geodesic window. To compute the edge strength of a certain vertex, the neighboring vertices in a specified geodesic distance are involved. Edge information are used further to segment the surfaces with watershed algorithm and to achieve edgepreserved, adaptive surface smoothing. The proposed algorithm is novel in robustly detecting edges on triangle meshes against noise. The 3D watershed algorithm is an extension from previous work. Experimental results on surfaces reconstructed from multi-view real range images are presented.

Triangle Mesh-Based Surface Modeling Using Adaptive Smoothing and Implicit Texture Integration
This paper presents a framework of surface modeling from multi-view range data. The input to the algorithms are triangle meshes, each of which is from a single view range scan. The triangle meshes generated from raw data are first processed by the proposed area decreasing flow for surface denoising. Although the proposed flow is mathematically equivalent to the mean curvature flow, it can avoid...

We describe a hybrid algorithm that is designed to reconstruct a piecewise smooth surface mesh from noisy input. While denoising, our method simultaneously regularizes triangle meshes on flat regions for further mesh processing and preserves crease sharpness for faithful reconstruction.

متن کاملDual-Primal Mesh Optimization for Polygonized Implicit Surfaces With Sharp Features
A new method for improving polygonizations of implicit surfaces with sharp features is proposed. The method is based on the observation that, given an implicit surface with sharp features, a triangle mesh whose triangles are tangent to the implicit surface at certain inner triangle points gives a better approximation of the implicit surface than the standard Marching Cubes mesh [12] (in our exp...
