Extracting surface representations from rim curves

LNCS v. 3852 is the conference proceedings of ACCV 2006In this paper, we design and implement a novel method for constructing a mixed triangle/quadrangle mesh from the 3D space curves (rims) estimated from the profiles of an object in an image sequence without knowing the original 3D topology of the object. To this aim, a contour data structure for representing visual hull, which is different from that for CT/MRI, is introduced. In this paper, we (1) solve the "branching structure" problem by introducing some additional "directed edge", and (2) extract a triangle/ quadrangle closed mesh from the contour structure with an algorithm based on dynamic programming. Both theoretical demonstration and real world results show that our proposed method has sufficient robustness with respect to the complex topology of the object, and the extracted mesh is of high quality. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.postprintThe 7th Asian Conference on Computer Vision (ACCV 2006), Hyderabad, India, 13-16 January 2006.

Contributions dans le domaine de l'analyse multirésolution de maillages surfaciques semi-réguliers. Application à la compression géométrique

The goal of this work is to find solutions for the compression and the visualization of surface meshes at different levels of details. the first part is focused on static meshes, the second part is focused on dynamic meshes, used to represent 3D animations.L’objectif de cette thèse de doctorat est de proposer des solutions aux problèmes de compression et d’affichage de maillages surfaciques à plusieurs niveaux de détails. La première partie est réservée à l’étude des maillages statiques. La deuxième partie, elle concerne l’étude des maillagesdynamiques, où nous détaillons les solutions proposées pour les objets 3D animés
