SPECIAL ISSUE ON
PROCESSING OF LARGE POLYGONAL MESHES

Guest Editor

Very large polyhedral models, which are used in more and more in graphics applications today, are routinely generated by a variety of methods such as surface reconstruction algorithms from 3D scanned data, iso-surface construction algorithms from volumetric data, and photogrametric methods from aerial photography. The special issue will focus on methods designed to smooth, denoise, edit, compress, transmit, and animate very large polygonal meshes, based on signal processing techniques, constrained energy minimization, and the solution of diffusion differential equations.

Examples of topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:

  • Representation and operations on large polygonal meshes
  • Connectivity operators
  • Geometry operators
  • Linear and non-linear Smoothing techniques
  • Filtering of normal and tensor fields
  • Anisotropic diffusion on meshes
  • Mesh sampling rate conversion / resampling
  • Curvature-based resampling
  • Fourier analysis on meshes and linear filter design
  • Mesh fairing by constrained energy minimization
  • Mesh fairing by solving PDEs
  • Multiresolution representations, editing, and smoothing
  • Applications to subdivision surfaces
  • Applications to 3D geometry compression / progressive transmission
  • Dynamic meshes

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit high quality, original works which have not appeared, nor are under consideration, in any other journals.

Dates:

  • Submission Deadline: 09/15/2001
  • Reviews returned to Authors: 12/31/2001
  • Revised paper due by: 01/31/2002
  • Acceptance decisions due by: 02/15/2002
  • Final version due by: 02/28/2002
  • Planned publication date: 07/2002

Electronic Submission

Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format. Send your submission as an attachement by email to taubin@us.ibm.com Three hard-copy printouts exactly matching the electronic file must be supplied as well.
