Reconstruction of Opaque Inclusions in Objects with High Refractive Index

摘要

The problem of reconstruction of inclusions in rough diamonds occupies an important place in the entire technological process of extraction and cutting precious stones. Inclusions are foreign objects that are naturally formed in raw stock during the formation of diamond. The algorithm proposed in the present paper performs a full reconstruction of three-dimensional models of inclusions from photo images. Three-dimensional models of inclusions are based on a voxel representation. The algorithm performs the coloring of voxels and the segmentation of a voxel grid and constructs polygonal models of inclusions. Experiments carried out on real and synthetic data show that the algorithm can reconstruct three-dimensional models of medium- and large-size inclusions, which may serve as a first approximation for the methods of refinement of the shape of inclusions.
