Abstract

In this paper we present a new method for interactive segmentation of a triangle mesh by using the concavity-sensitive harmonic field and anisotropic geodesic. The proposed method only requires a single vertex in a desired feature region, while most of existing methods need explicit information on segmentation boundary. From the user-clicked vertex, a candidate region which contains the desired feature region is defined and concavity-senstive harmonic field is constructed on the region by using appropriate boundary constraints. An initial isoline is chosen from the uniformly sampled isolines on the harmonic field and optimal points on the initial isoline are determined as interpolation points. Final segmentation boundary is then constructed by computing anisotropic geodesics passing through the interpolation points. In experimental results, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method by selecting several features in various 3D models.

본 논문에서는 특징 추출 하모닉 필드(harmonic field)와 비등방 측지선(anisotropic geodesic)을 이용하여 메쉬의 특징 영역을 분할하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 기존 대부분의 메쉬 분할 기법들은 경계 영역에 대한 사용자의 명시적인 입력을 요구하지만, 제안된 기법에서는 사용자가 관심 영역의 임의의 정점을 선택하여 직관적이고 편리하게 특징 영역을 분할한다. 사용자가 선택한 정점을 중심으로 오목한(concave) 영역에서 큰 변화를 갖는 하모닉 필드를 생성한다. 생성된 하모닉 필드에서 하나의 등위선(isoline)을 선택하여 초기 분할 경계선을 정하고, 선택된 등위선에서 최적의 특징점을 추출하여 비등방 측지선으로 연결함으로써 최종적인 분할 경계선을 생성한다. 다양한 실험을 통해 제안된 기법이 사용자의 입력에 민감하지 않으며, 특징 영역 분할에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 보인다.
