This study introduces a new method for classifying features on discrete surfaces without using complex curvature analysis. This approach offers stable, multiscale feature detection for improved surface processing applications.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Graphics
  • Geometric Modeling
  • Computational Geometry

Background:

  • Stable local classification of discrete surfaces is crucial for applications like segmentation and modeling.
  • Traditional methods relying on discretized curvature analysis struggle with large, irregular grids and robustness.
  • Existing techniques are often sensitive to noise and computationally intensive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel local classification method for discrete surfaces that avoids discretized curvature computation.
  • To introduce a method that provides a smoothness indicator and inherent multiscale properties.
  • To demonstrate the applicability of the method in feature-preserving surface fairing.

Main Methods:

  • The classification is based on local zero and first moments computed on the discrete surface.

  • Integral quantities of these moments are used, offering stability and reduced noise compared to curvature.
  • The stencil width for moment integration serves as the scale parameter for multiscale analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method provides stable and robust local classification of surface features like edges, corners, and regions.
    • It successfully avoids the complexities and instabilities associated with discretized curvature calculations.
    • The method yields less noisy results and integrates multiscale analysis naturally.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed local classification tool offers a more stable and robust alternative to curvature-based methods for discrete surfaces.
    • Its ability to provide smoothness indicators and multiscale analysis enhances its utility in various surface processing tasks.
    • The approach is well-suited for applications including surface segmentation, comparison, matching, and modeling, as demonstrated by feature-preserving fairing.
