Sparse Approximation of 3D Meshes Using the Spectral Geometry of the Hamiltonian Operator

The discrete Laplace operator is ubiquitous in spectral shape analysis, since its eigenfunctions are provably optimal in representing smooth functions defined on the surface of the shape. Indeed, subspaces defined by its eigenfunctions have been utilized for shape compression, treating the coordinates as smooth functions defined on the given surface. However, surfaces of shapes in nature often contain geometric structures for which the general smoothness assumption may fail to hold. At the other end, some explicit mesh compression algorithms utilize the order by which vertices that represent the surface are traversed, a property which has been ignored in spectral approaches. Here, we incorporate the order of vertices into an operator that defines a novel spectral domain. We propose a method for representing 3D meshes using the spectral geometry of the Hamiltonian operator, integrated within a sparse approximation framework. We adapt the concept of a potential function from quantum physics and incorporate vertex ordering information into the potential, yielding a novel data-dependent operator. The potential function modifies the spectral geometry of the Laplacian to focus on regions with finer details of the given surface. By sparsely encoding the geometry of the shape using the proposed data-dependent basis, we improve compression performance compared to previous results that use the standard Laplacian basis and spectral graph wavelets.     

Interactive image segmentation by maximal similarity based region merging

Efficient and effective image segmentation is an important task in computer vision and object recognition. Since fully automatic image segmentation is usually very hard for natural images, interactive schemes with a few simple user inputs are good solutions. This paper presents a new region merging based interactive image segmentation method. The users only need to roughly indicate the location and region of the object and background by using strokes, which are called markers. A novel maximal-similarity based region merging mechanism is proposed to guide the merging process with the help of markers. A region R is merged with its adjacent region Q if Q has the highest similarity with Q among all Q's adjacent regions. The proposed method automatically merges the regions that are initially segmented by mean shift segmentation, and then effectively extracts the object contour by labeling all the non-marker regions as either background or object. The region merging process is adaptive to the image content and it does not need to set the similarity threshold in advance. Extensive experiments are performed and the results show that the proposed scheme can reliably extract the object contour from the complex background.     

Differential Representations for Mesh Processing

Surface representation and processing is one of the key topics in computer graphics and geometric modeling, since it greatly affects the range of possible applications. In this paper we will present recent advances in geometry processing that are related to the Laplacian processing framework and differential representations. This framework is based on linear operators defined on polygonal meshes, and furnishes a variety of processing applications, such as shape approximation and compact representation, mesh editing, watermarking and morphing. The core of the framework is the definition of differential coordinates and new bases for efficient mesh geometry representation, based on the mesh Laplacian operator.     

Versatile surface detail editing via Laplacian coordinates

This paper presents a versatile detail editing approach for triangular meshes based on filtering the Laplacian coordinates. More specifically, we first compute the Laplacian coordinates of the mesh vertices, then filter the Laplacian coordinates, and finally reconstruct the mesh from the filtered Laplacian coordinates by solving a linear least square system. The proposed detail editing method includes not only feature preserving smoothing but also enhancing. Furthermore, the proposed approach allows interactive editing of some user-specified frequencies and regions. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is much more versatile and faster than the existing methods.     

Gradient field based inhomogeneous volumetric mesh deformation for maxillofacial surgery simulation

This paper presents a novel inhomogeneous volumetric mesh deformation approach by gradient field manipulation, and uses it for maxillofacial surgery simulation. The study is inspired by the state-of-the-art surface deformation techniques based on differential representations. Working in the volumetric domain instead of on only the surface can preserve the volumetric details much better, avoid local self-intersections, and achieve better deformation propagation because of the internal mesh connections. By integrating the mesh cell material stiffness parameter into our new discrete volumetric Laplacian operator, it is very convenient to incorporate inhomogeneous materials into the deformation framework. In addition, the system matrix for solving the volumetric harmonic field to handle the local transformation problem is the same used for Poisson reconstruction equation, thus it requires solving essentially only one global linear system. The system is easy to use, and can accept explicit rotational constraints, or only translational constraints to drive the deformation. One typical maxillofacial surgery case was simulated by the new methodology with inhomogeneous material estimated directly from CT data, and compared to the commonly used finite element method (FEM) approach. The results demonstrated that the deformation methodology achieved good accuracy, as well as interactive performance. Therefore, the usage of our volumetric mesh deformation approach is relevant and suitable for daily clinical practice.     

A local tangential lifting differential method for triangular meshes

In this note we present a local tangential lifting (LTL) algorithm to compute differential quantities for triangular meshes obtained from regular surfaces. First, we introduce a new notation of the local tangential polygon and lift functions and vector fields on a triangular mesh to the local tangential polygon. Then we use the centroid weights proposed by Chen and Wu [4] to define the discrete gradient of a function on a triangular mesh. We also use our new method to define the discrete Laplacian operator acting on functions on triangular meshes. Higher order differential operators can also be computed successively. Our approach is conceptually simple and easy to compute. Indeed, our LTL method also provides a unified algorithm to estimate the shape operator and curvatures of a triangular mesh and derivatives of functions and vector fields. We also compare three different methods : our method, the least square method and Akima’s method to compute the gradients of functions.
