Lecture 7 : Point Set Processing Acknowledgement : Prof. Amenta’s slides
Point Set (Point Cloud) • Often obtained from laser snanners
Triangulations (Delaunay) & Dual Diagrams (Voronoi) Union of Balls • Union of balls • Triangulation & Dual
Data Structures for Point Set Data • Voronoi Diagram • Delaunay Triangulation • Medial Axis
Voronoi Diagram/Delaunay Triangulation • Refer to Prof. Vigneron’s slides
Medial Axis • A Transformation For Extracting New Descriptors of Shape • Locus of points equidistant from contour • Skeleton
Applications of medial axis • Shape matching • Animation • Computer Vision • Dimension reduction (Simplification) • Solid modeling
Definitions of medial axis • Locus of points equidistant from contour • Grass-fire, prairie-fire, wave-front collision • Locus of centers of maximal circles • Local maxima in distance transform • Result of topology preserving thinning
Medial Axis • A set of points with more than one closest surface point
3D Medial Axis • A set of points with more than one closest surface point
Medial Axis • Maximal ball avoiding surface is a medial ball • Every solid is a union of balls
Relation to Voronoi • Voronoi balls approximate medial balls • For dense surface samples in 2D, all voronoi vertices lie near axis
Convergence • In 2D, set of Voronoi vertices converges to the medial axis as sampling density increases.
Discrete Union of Balls • Voronoi balls approximate the object and its complement.
2D Curve Reconstruction • Blue Delaunay edges reconstruct the curve, pink triangulate interior/exterior. • Many algorithms, with proofs, for coloring edges.
2D Curve Reconstruction <Voronoi Diagram of point set S> • Delaunay Triangulation of point set S • and voronoi vertices V • Black lines represent curve reconstruction
2D Medial Axis Reconstruction • Pink approximate medial axis.
3D Case • Different from 2D • In 3D, some Voronoi vertices are not near medial axis • Red : voronoi cell of the blue point • Notice the red voronoi vertex that is far from • the medial axis
Union of Balls centered on voronoi vertices • 2D • 3D • Even when samples are • arbitrarily dense
Poles • Farthest voronoi vertices • p+ , p- (opposite sides) • Subset of voronoi vertices, the poles, approximate near medial axis
3D surface reconstruction • Similar to 2D surface reconstruction, but use poles instead of entire voronoi vertices
Results [Amenta 1998,2001] Laser range data, power crust, simplified approximate medial axis
Shape Feature Segmentation[Dey 2003] • Based on Voronoi Diagram and Delaunay Triangulation
