Hierarchical mesh segmentation based on fitting primitives

TL;DR: A hierarchical face clustering algorithm for triangle meshes based on fitting primitives belonging to an arbitrary set that generates a binary tree of clusters, each of which is fitted by one of the primitives employed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Technical Section: Discrete Laplace-Beltrami operators for shape analysis and segmentation

TL;DR: This paper first analyzes different discretizations of the Laplace-Beltrami operator (geometric Laplacians, linear and cubic FEM operators) in terms of the correctness of their eigenfunctions with respect to the continuous case, and presents the family of segmentations induced by the nodal sets of the eigen Functions, discussing its meaningfulness for shape understanding.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Mesh Segmentation - A Comparative Study

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study of mesh segmentation algorithms is presented, along several axes, and the vital properties of the methods and the challenges that future algorithms should face are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reeb graphs for shape analysis and applications

TL;DR: An overview of the mathematical properties of Reeb graphs is provided and its history in the Computer Graphics context is reconstructed, with an eye towards directions of future research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Describing shapes by geometrical-topological properties of real functions

TL;DR: This survey is to provide a clear vision of what has been developed so far, focusing on methods that make use of theoretical frameworks that are developed for classes of real functions rather than for a single function, even if they are applied in a restricted manner.
