Salience-based feature preserving resizing for 3D models
Yongwei Miao, Haibin Lin · 2013
3D model resizing means scaling or stretching the original shape along a specific direction to fit with other models or parts as a new prescribed size [Kraevoy et al. 2008; Wang and Zhang 2009]. Traditional uniform resizing will change the size of whole model by a global uniform scale along all directions and thus some intrinsic features of the underlying shape will be distorted inevitably. However, the visually salient features of complex shapes are always sensitive to the scaling operation thus should be preserved as much as possible, whilst other featureless regions are less sensitive thus may be stretched little during model resizing. By pushing the influence of visual saliency into model resizing operation, a novel saliencebased feature preserving resizing scheme is proposed here which can benefit for global and local resizing operations (Figure 1).
