  2. Neighborhood Neighborhood of point in Discrete equivalent of metric ball

  3. Nearest neighbors K nearest neighbors of

  4. Connectivity • Neighborhood is a topological definition independent of a metric • Two points are adjacent (directly connected) if they belong to the same neighborhood • The connectivity structure can be represented as an undirected graph with vertices and edges Vertices Edges • Connectivity graph can be represented as a matrix

  5. Shape representation Graph Cloud of points

  6. Connectivity in the plane Four-neighbor Six-neighbor Eight-neighbor

  7. Delaunay tessellation Define connectivity as follows: a pair of points whose Voronoi cells are adjacent are connected The obtained connectivity graph is dual to the Voronoi diagram and is called Delaunay tesselation Boris Delaunay (1890-1980) Voronoi regions Connectivity Delaunay tesselation

  8. Delaunay tessellation For surfaces, the triangles are replaced by geodesic triangles [Leibon & Letscher]: under conditions that guarantee the existence of Voronoi tessellation, Delaunay triangles form a valid tessellation Replacing geodesic triangles by planar ones gives Delaunay triangulation Geodesic triangles Euclidean triangles

  9. Shape representation Graph Cloud of points Triangular mesh

  10. Triangular meshes A structure of the form consisting of • Vertices • Edges • Faces is called a triangular mesh The mesh is a purely topological object and does not contain any geometric properties The faces can be represented as an matrix of indices, where each row is a vector of the form , and

  11. Triangular meshes The geometric realization of the mesh is defined by specifying the coordinates of the vertices for all The coordinates can be represented as an matrix The mesh is a piece-wise planar approximation obtained by gluing the triangular faces together, Triangular face

  12. Example of a triangular mesh Vertices Coordinates Edges Faces Topological Geometric

  13. Barycentric coordinates Any point on the mesh can be represented providing • index of the triangle enclosing it; • coefficients of the convex combination of the triangle vertices Vector is called barycentric coordinates

  14. Manifold meshes • is a manifold • Neighborhood of each interior vertex is homeomorphic to a disc • Neighborhood of each boundary vertex is homeomorphic to a half-disc • Each interior edge belongs to two triangles • Each boundary edge belongs to one triangle

  15. Non-manifold meshes Edge shared by four triangles Non-manifold mesh

  16. Geometry images Surface Geometry image Global parametrization Sampling of parametrization domain on a Cartesian grid

  17. Geometry images Six-neighbor Eight-neighbor Manifold mesh Non-manifold mesh

  18. Geometric validity Topologically valid Geometrically invalid Topological validity (manifold mesh) is insufficient! Geometric validity means that the realization of the triangular mesh does not contain self-intersections

  19. Skeleton For a smooth compact surface , there exists an envelope (open set in containing ) such that every point is continuously mappable to a unique point on The mapping is realized as the closest point on from Problem when is equidistant from two points on (such points are called medial axis or skeleton of ) If the mesh is contained in the envelope (does not intersect the medial axis), it is valid

  20. Skeleton Points equidistant from the boundary form the skeleton of a shape

  21. Local feature size Distance from point on to the medial axis of is called the local feature size, denoted Local feature size related to curvature (not an intrinsic property!) [Amenta&Bern, Leibon&Letscher]: if the surface is sampled such that for every an open ball of radius contains a point of , it is guaranteed that does not intersect the medial axis of Conclusion: there exists sufficiently dense sampling guaranteeing that is geometrically valid

  22. Geometric validity Insufficient density Invalid mesh Sufficient density Valid mesh
