چکیده

This paper describes a new integrated scheme for metamorphosis between two closed manifold genus-0 polyhedral models. Spherical parameterizations of the source and target models are created first. To control the morphing, any number of feature vertex pairs is specified and a fold-over free warping method is used to align two spherical embeddings. Our method does not create a merged meta-mesh or execute re-meshing to construct a common connectivity for morphs. Alternatively, a scheme for the progressive connectivity transformation of two spherical parameterizations is employed to generate the intermediate meshes. A novel semi-overlay with a geomorph scheme is proposed to reduce the popping effects caused by the connectivity transformation. We demonstrate several examples of aesthetically pleasing morphing sequences using the proposed scheme. Copyright # 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Interactive Mesh Fusion Based on Local 3D Metamorphosis

This paper proposes a new mesh modeling scheme, called mesh fusion, based on three-dimensional (3D) meshbased metamorphosis. We establish the attachment from a part of one mesh to a part of another with smooth boundaries, employing the traditional cutting and pasting operation in conjunction with a combination of meshes, applying the idea of 3D metamorphosis. We also offer an algorithm for adju...

Mesh Metamorphosis with Topology Transformations

3D mesh morphing based on a metamesh has fundamental limitations of complicated in-between meshes and no topology (connectivity) changes in a metamorphosis. This paper presents a novel approach for 3D mesh morphing, which is not based on a metamesh. The approach simultaneously interpolates the topology and geometry of input meshes. In our approach, an in-between mesh contains only the vertices ...

3D Mesh Skeleton Extraction Using Topological and Geometrical Analyses

This paper describes a novel and unified approach for Reeb graph construction and simplification as well as constriction approximation on 3D polygonal meshes. The key idea of our algorithm is that discrete contours – curves carried by the edges of the mesh and approximating the continuous contours of a mapping function – encode both topological and geometrical shape characteristics. Firstly, me...

Volume - based three - dimensional metamorphosis using region correspondence

The metamorphosis (commonly known as morphing) of one image into another is a well studied subject that has frequently been used to create impressive visual effects. There has been significant work recently in three-dimensional (3-D) metamorphosis, where a surface is transformed into another surface. One approach is to construct discrete volume representations of the surfaces and interpolate be...

A sketch-based interactive framework for real-time mesh segmentation

Meaningful mesh segmentation plays a more and more important role in various graphics applications, such as texture mapping, shape retrieval, and highquality metamorphosis. This paper proposes a sketchbased interactive framework for real-time mesh segmentation. With an easy-to-use tool, the user can freely segment a 3D mesh while needing little effort or skill. In order to meaningfully segment ...
