CONSISTENT TESSELLATION VIA TOPOLOGY-AWARE SURFACE TRACKING

摘要

Consistent tessellation via topology-aware surface tracking is provided in which a series of meshes is approximated by taking one or more meshes from the series and calculating a transformation field to transform the keyframe mesh into each mesh of the series, and substituting the transformed keyframe meshes for the original meshes. The keyframe mesh may be selected advisedly based upon a scoring metric. An error measurement on the transformed keyframe exceeding tolerance or threshold may suggest another keyframe be selected for one or more frames in the series. The sequence of frames may be divided into a number of subsequences to permit parallel processing, including two or more recursive levels of keyframe substitution. The transformed keyframe meshes achieve more consistent tessellation of the object across the series.
