双轮廓和二次误差函数

Question

我已经在C#中实现了行进立方体,双行进立方体和自适应行进立方体,但却发现我需要双重轮廓以达到我的目的.我已经阅读了关于双轮廓的所有作品,除了双轮廓本身的核心之外,我得到的只是:最小化二次误差函数(QEF).

现在,我只是通过找到共享该单个顶点(3到6个边)的所有edgePoints之间的平均值来计算内部体素的顶点位置,并且它运行良好,但它显然不会在正确的位置创建内部顶点.

这是我要创建的代码片段.任何帮助将非常感激

        //so, here we are. I'm creating a vector to store the final value.
        Vector3 position = Vector3.Zero;

        //Values of b are supposed to b (:P) three floats. The only way i know to find a float value
        //by multiplying 2 vectors is to use dot product.
        Vector3 b = new Vector3(
               Vector3.Dot(p0, n0),
               Vector3.Dot(p1, n1),
               Vector3.Dot(p2, n2));

        //What the transpose of a vector is supposed to be?
        //I don't know, but i think should be the vector itself :)
        float bTb = Vector3.Dot(b, b); 

        //i create a square matrix 3x3, so i can use c# matrix transformation libraries.
        //i know i will probably have to build bigger matrix later on, but it should fit for now
        Matrix A = new Matrix(
            n0.X, n0.Y, n0.Z, 0,
            n1.X, n1.Y, n1.Z, 0,
            n2.X, n2.Y, n2.Z, 0,
            0, 0, 0, 0);

        //easy
        Matrix AT = Matrix.Transpose(A);

        //EASY
        Matrix ATA = Matrix.Multiply(AT, A);

        //Another intuition. Hope makes sense...
        Vector3 ATb = Vector3.Transform(b, AT);

        //...
        // some cool stuff about solving
        // the normal equations AT Aˆ x = AT b

        return position; //profit!

Answer 1

优质教育基金很难理解.希望我能提供帮助.双轮廓法计算每个交叉点处的"厄米特"数据,或者换句话说,在体素边缘上创建的每个点处,表面的法线已知.使用点和法线可以计算平面的方程.

QEF是从体素的内部点到与体素相关联的每个平面的距离的平方的总和.下面是一些用于计算QEF的伪代码.

double get_QEF(Point3d point, Voxel3d voxel) 
{ 
    double QEF = 0.0; 
    foreach(plane in voxel.planes) 
    { 
        double dist_to_plane = plane.distance(point); 
        QEF += dist_to_plane*dist_to_plane; 
    } 
    return(QEF); 
}

然后,目标是在体素内选择一个最小化QEF的点.文献建议使用Grahm-Schmidt过程来定位最佳点,但这可能是复杂的,并且还可能导致位于体素之外的点.

另一种选择(hack-ish)是在体素内部创建点网格并计算每个点的QEF并选择具有最低点的QEF,网格越精细越接近您将到达的最佳点但是越长计算.
