Progressive Gap Closing for Mesh Repairing

چکیده
Modern 3D acquisition and modeling tools generate high-quality, detailed geometric models. However, in order to cope with the associated complexity, several mesh decimation methods have been developed in the recent years. On the other hand, a common problem of geometric modeling tools is the generation of consistent three-dimensional meshes. Most of these programs output meshes containing degenerate faces, T-vertices, narrow gaps and cracks. Applying well-established decimation methods to such meshes results in severe artifacts due to lack of consistent connectivity information. The industrial relevance of this problem is emphasized by the fact that as an output of most of the commercial CAD/CAM and other modeling tools, the user usually gets consistent meshes only for separate polygonal patches as opposed to the whole mesh. In this paper we propose a solution, which interprets the above issue as a mesh boundary decimation task. As suggested by Garland and Heckbert [4] and Popović and Hoppe [12], adding a vertex pair contraction operation enables to join unconnected regions of the mesh. In addition to this and the usual edge-collapse operation, we introduce a new vertex-edge collapse operation. This provides extra support for closing gaps and stitching together the boundaries of triangle patches lying in near proximity to each other. In our method, the decimation process is error controlled and conducted in a progressive manner in terms of the error. Therefore, the user is enabled to visually inspect and interactively influence the procedure.

Double-layer mesh hernioplasty for repairing umbilical hernias in 10 goats*
Umbilical hernias in goats are uncommon and can vary in their etiology and management. Hernioplasty can be done by closing the abdominal wall with a horizontal mattress pattern using absorbable sutures. However, larger defects (hernial ring size >3 cm) generally require the use of prosthetic materials that allow for a tension-free repair. In this study, 10 young female goats with umbilical hern...

In this paper, buckling of simply supported column with an edge crack is investigated numerically and analytically. Four different scenarios of damage severities are applied to a column, open crack assumption and the effect of closing crack in stability of the column which depends on position and size of cracks, are numerically compared. Crack surfaces contact is modeled with GAP element using ...

In this commentary, the idea of closing the gap between knowing and doing through closing the gap between academics and practitioners is explored. The two communities approach to knowledge production and use, has predominated within healthcare, resulting in a separation between the worlds of research and practice, and, therefore, between its producers and users. Meaningful collaborations betwee...
