Multi‐scale Feature Extraction on Point‐Sampled Surfaces

Open access
Pauly, Mark, Keiser, Richard, Gross, Markus·2003·Computer Graphics Forum

Abstract

We present a new technique for extracting line‐type features on point‐sampled geometry. Given an unstructuredpoint cloud as input, our method first applies principal component analysis on local neighborhoods toclassify points according to the likelihood that they belong to a feature. Using hysteresis thresholding, we thencompute a minimum spanning graph as an initial approximation of the feature lines. To smooth out the featureswhile maintaining a close connection to the underlying surface, we use an adaptation of active contour models.Central to our method is a multi‐scale classification operator that allows feature analysis at multiplescales, using the size of the local neighborhoods as a discrete scale parameter. This significantly improves thereliability of the detection phase and makes our method more robust in the presence of noise. To illustrate theusefulness of our method, we have implemented a non‐photorealistic point renderer to visualize point‐sampledsurfaces as line drawings of their extracted feature curves.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
