Nonlinear Diffusion of Normals for Stable Detection of Ridges and Ravines on Range Images and Polygonal Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main contribution of this work consists of developing a new surface smoothing method. The method preserves sharp variation points of the surface normals and is good for stable extraction of perceptually salient ridges and ravines. The method is based on a discrete nonlinear diffusion process (iterative nonlinear averaging) applied to the surface normals. We demonstrate applicability of the method to analysis and segmentation of range images (height fields) and polygonal surfaces.

A 3D Voronoi-Based Skeleton and Associated Surface Features
The paper proposes an approach for stable extraction of the skeleton of a polygonal surface and detection of surface features, ridges and ravines, corresponding to skeletal edges. The approach adapts the three-dimensional Voronoi diagram technique [3] for skeleton extraction, explores the singularity theory for ridge and ravine detection [8], and combines several filtering methods for skeleton ...
متن کاملA Skeleton-based Approach for Detection of Perceptually Salient Features on Polygonal Surfaces
The paper presents a skeleton-based approach for robust detection of perceptually salient shape features. Given a shape approximated by a polygonal surface, its skeleton is extracted using a three-dimensional Voronoi diagram technique proposed recently by Amenta et al. 3. Shape creases, ridges and ravines, are detected as curves corresponding to skeletal edges. Salient shape regions are extract...

متن کاملDetection of ridges and ravines using fuzzy logic operations
In object analysis, line and curve finding plays a universal role, and it can be accomplished by detecting ridges and ravines in digital gray scale images. In this paper, we present a new method of detecting ridges and ravines by using local min and max operations. This method uses erosion and dilation properties of fuzzy logic operations and requires no information of ridge or ravine direction...
