Extracting Cycle-aware Feature Curve Networks from 3D Models
2021
Abstract Meaningful feature curves provide high-level shape representation of the geometrical shapes and are useful in various applications. In this paper, we propose an automatic method on the basis of the quadric surface fitting technique to extract complete feature curve networks (FCNs) from 3D surface meshes, as well as finding cycles and generating a high-quality segmentation. In the initial collection of noisy and fragmented feature curves, we first fit the quadric surfaces of each curve and the corresponding neighbor vertices to filter out non-salient or noisy feature curves. Then we conduct a feature extension step to address the curve intersections and form a closed FCN. Finally, we regard circle curves as cycles in the complete FCN and segment the mesh into patches to reveal a highly structured representation of the input geometry. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm is more robust for FCN extraction from complex input meshes and achieves higher quality patch layouts compared with the state-of-the-art approaches. We also verify the validity of extracted feature curve cycles by applying them to surface reconstruction.
