Abstract
This paper presents a bas-relief generation algorithm from scattered point cloud directly. Compared with the popular gradient domain methods for mesh surface, this algorithm takes normal vectors as the operation object, making it independent of topology connection, thus more suitable for point clouds and easier to implement. By constructing linear equations of the bas-relief height and using the solution strategy of the subspace, this algorithm can adjustment the bas-relief effect in real-time relying on the computing power of a consumer CPU only. In addition, we also propose an iterative solution to generate a bas-relief model of a specified height. The experimental results indicate that our algorithm provides a unified solution for generating different types of bas-relief with good saturation and rich details.
期刊介绍:
Graphical Models is recognized internationally as a highly rated, top tier journal and is focused on the creation, geometric processing, animation, and visualization of graphical models and on their applications in engineering, science, culture, and entertainment. GMOD provides its readers with thoroughly reviewed and carefully selected papers that disseminate exciting innovations, that teach rigorous theoretical foundations, that propose robust and efficient solutions, or that describe ambitious systems or applications in a variety of topics.
We invite papers in five categories: research (contributions of novel theoretical or practical approaches or solutions), survey (opinionated views of the state-of-the-art and challenges in a specific topic), system (the architecture and implementation details of an innovative architecture for a complete system that supports model/animation design, acquisition, analysis, visualization?), application (description of a novel application of know techniques and evaluation of its impact), or lecture (an elegant and inspiring perspective on previously published results that clarifies them and teaches them in a new way).
GMOD offers its authors an accelerated review, feedback from experts in the field, immediate online publication of accepted papers, no restriction on color and length (when justified by the content) in the online version, and a broad promotion of published papers. A prestigious group of editors selected from among the premier international researchers in their fields oversees the review process.
