Automatic PolyCube-maps

Abstract

We propose an automatic PolyCube-Maps construction scheme. Firstly, input mesh is decomposed into a set of feature regions, and further split into patches. Then, each region is approximated by a simple basic polycube primitive with each patch mapped to a rectangular sub-surface of the basic polycube primitive which can be parameterized independently. After that, an iterative procedure is performed to improve the parameterization quality globally. By these steps, we can obtain the polycubic parameterization result efficiently. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
