Spherical Conformal Parameterization of Genus-0 Point Clouds for Meshing

Abstract: Abstract. Point cloud is the most fundamental representation of 3D geometric objects. Analyzing and processing point cloud surfaces is important in computer graphics and computer vision. However, most of the existing algorithms for surface analysis require connectivity information. Therefore, it is desirable to develop a mesh structure on point clouds. This task can be simplified with the aid of a parameterization. In particular, conformal parameterizations are advantageous in preserving the geometric informat… Show more

“…Fourth, in order to reduce time-to-discovery, we want our methods to be (provably) computationally efficient and scalable with regards to the number of points needed to discretize the problem, regardless of the order of the RBF-FD method used. Our focus in this work is not on generating a suitable parametrization for an arbitrary point cloud, which is a problem that has been tackled by others (e.g., [6]). We restrict ourselves to irregular domains with boundaries that are easily parameterizable, of genus-0, and at least homeomorphic to the sphere S d−1 ⊂ R d .…”

“…Area information has also been utilized in the computation of optimal mass transport maps [21,22,50] and density-equalizing maps [10,16,17]. More recently, quasi-conformal mappings have become increasingly popular for the development of non-rigid image registration [31,47] and surface mapping methods [12,13,19,32,37], with applications to geometry processing [7,11,14], biological shape analysis [8,15] and medical visualization [9,18]. Specifically, quasi-conformal theory allows one to ensure the bijectivity and reduce the local geometric distortion of the mappings.…”

“…Existing conformal parameterization methods for simply-connected open surfaces include least-squares conformal map (LSCM) [46], discrete natural conformal parameterization (DNCP) [22], angle-based flattening (ABF) [67,68,79], holomorphic 1-form [29], discrete Yamabe flow [51,70], discrete Ricci flow [35,74,83], fast disk conformal map [17], boundary first flattening [64], linear disk conformal map [12], conformal energy minimization [76], parallelizable global conformal parameterization (PGCP) [10,11] and spherical cap conformal map [65]. For simply-connected closed surfaces, existing spherical conformal parameterization methods include harmonic energy minimization [28,42] and its linearizations [2,9,16,30] and parallelizable global conformal parameterization (PGCP) [10]. While many surfaces in real applications may be multiply-connected, the conformal mapping of multiply-connected surfaces is less studied.…”
