Abstract:The process of extracting a curve-skeleton from a 3D object is critical for various computer vision applications, including 3D object matching and recognition, 3D object segmentation, 3D animation, and 3D surface reconstruction. In this paper, we present a novel and efficient method for extracting the skeleton from general 3D objects based on a weight graph representation. Our method defines a unique spiral patch for each graph vertex, representing the shortest loop over the surface contour starting from the v… Show more
