Hierarchical mesh decomposition using fuzzy clustering and cuts
Abstract
Cutting up a complex object into simpler sub-objects is a fundamental problem in various disciplines. In image processing, images are segmented while in computational geometry, solid polyhedra are decomposed. In recent years, in computer graphics, polygonal meshes are decomposed into sub-meshes. In this paper we propose a novel hierarchical mesh decomposition algorithm. Our algorithm computes a decomposition into the meaningful components of a given mesh, which generally refers to segmentation at regions of deep concavities. The algorithm also avoids over-segmentation and jaggy boundaries between the components. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of the algorithm in control-skeleton extraction.

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.
