Instant Field-aligned Meshes

Wenzel Alban Jakob

We present a novel approach to remesh a surface into an isotropic triangular or quad-dominant mesh using a unified local smoothing operator that optimizes both the edge orientations and vertex positions in the output mesh. Our algorithm produces meshes wit ...

Registration with the Point Cloud Library A Modular Framework for Aligning in 3-D

Alexandru Eugen Ichim

The open-source point cloud library (PCL) and the tools available for point cloud registration is presented. Pairwise registration is usually carried out by means of one of the several variants of the ICP algorithm. Due to the nonconvexity of the optimizat ...

Coupled Structure-from-Motion and 3D Symmetry Detection for Urban Facades

Mark Pauly, Duygu Ceylan

Repeated structures are ubiquitous in urban facades. Such repetitions lead to ambiguity in establishing correspondences across sets of unordered images. A decoupled structure-from-motion reconstruction followed by symmetry detection often produces errors: ...

3D Geometry Representation using Multiview Coding of Image Tiles

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey, Yu Gao

Compression of dynamic 3D geometry obtained from depth sensors is challenging, because noise and temporal inconsistency inherent in acquisition of depth data means there is no one-to-one correspondence between sets of 3D points in consecutive time instants ...

Stochastic Exploration of Ambiguities for Non-Rigid Shape Recovery

Pascal Fua

Recovering the 3D shape of deformable surfaces from single images is known to be a highly ambiguous problem because many different shapes may have very similar projections. This is commonly addressed by restricting the set of possible shapes to linear comb ...

Automatic Generation of Constructable Brick Sculptures

Mark Pauly, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg, Romain Pierre Testuz

Fabrication of LEGO models in large scale requires careful pre-planning to produce constructable and stable models. We propose a system that, starting with a voxelization of a 3D mesh, merges voxels to form larger bricks, and then analyzes and repairs stru ...

Sparse Iterative Closest Point

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Andrea Tagliasacchi

Rigid registration of two geometric data sets is essential in many applications, including robot navigation, surface reconstruction, and shape matching. Most commonly, variants of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm are employed for this task. Thes ...

Resolving Ambiguities in Monocular 3D Reconstruction of Deformable Surfaces

Aydin Varol

In this thesis, we focus on the problem of recovering 3D shapes of deformable surfaces from a single camera. This problem is known to be ill-posed as for a given 2D input image there exist many 3D shapes that give visually identical projections. We present ...

A neuron membrane mesh representation for visualization of electrophysiological simulations

Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Sean Lewis Hill, Juan Bautista Hernando Vieites, Sébastien Lasserre

We present a process to automatically generate three-dimensional mesh representations of the complex, arborized cell membrane surface of cortical neurons (the principal information processing cells of the brain) from nonuniform morphological measurements. ...

Caustic Art

Mark Pauly

The computation of caustics created by reflection or refraction of light is a well-studied problem in computer graphics. This paper investigates the inverse problem: Given a greyscale intensity image, find the shape of a surface that will cast a caustic th ...
