This study presents a novel surface modeling method using Dual Poisson-Disk Tiling to stochastically distribute features on any surface, ensuring minimum separation and avoiding overlap for interactive editing and efficient redistribution.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Graphics
  • Geometric Modeling
  • Computational Geometry

Background:

  • Stochastic feature distribution on surfaces is crucial for realistic modeling.
  • Existing methods often struggle with arbitrary topologies and feature overlap.
  • Ensuring minimum feature separation is a persistent challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel surface-modeling method for stochastic feature distribution.
  • To guarantee minimum separation between distributed features, preventing overlap.
  • To enable interactive editing and efficient redistribution of surface features.

Main Methods:

  • The core mechanism is the Dual Poisson-Disk Tiling scheme.
  • This involves computing the dual of a surface parameterization and tiling it with custom dual tiles.

  • Poisson disk distributions are pre-generated on these tiles for efficient processing.

    • Main Results:

    • The method successfully distributes features stochastically on arbitrary topological surfaces.
    • It guarantees minimum separation between features, avoiding overlap.
    • The Dual Poisson-Disk Tiling scheme effectively handles corner heterogeneity and reduces tile set complexity.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed method offers an efficient and robust solution for surface feature distribution.
    • It enables interactive control and redistribution of features, enhancing usability.
    • The technique demonstrates broad applicability in various surface modeling applications.
