The connectivity of the mesh can be easily represented using its dual graph. Each node of such a graph has at most three incident edges; if the surface is homeomorphic to a sphere, each node has exactly three incident edges. Several triangular meshes, representing the same surface, with an increasing number of triangles are a representation of the surface at difierent levels of detail (LOD). When the number of triangles from one LOD to another varies continuously we call such a structure a continuous level of detail (CLOD) approximation of the surface. Given a CLOD data structure we can extract, at each level, the mesh representing the surface and derive its dual graph. If we group the triangles forming each mesh in strips, to accelerate their rendering, we should use two colors for the dual graph’s edges to distinguish between the edges linking nodes belonging to the same strip or not. The main goal of this paper is to present a set of rules to recolor the dual graph of the mesh when passing from one LOD to the next and back. The operations used to change the mesh are a Vertex Split (VS) when the resolution increases, and an Edge Collapse (EC) when the resolution decreases. We can, then, use a local topological analysis to derive the rules allowing to recolor the graph, and to show that, under certain conditions, the recoloring is optimal. This allows to keep efiectively an optimal triangle strip structure over the mesh, while changing its resolution.","PeriodicalId":405486,"journal":{"name":"European Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Conference","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134161722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose an approach characterized by a floating interface, operated by two-hand gestures, for an enhanced manipulation of 3D objects. Our interaction paradigm, exploits one-hand, twohand and time-dependent gesture patterns to allow the user to perform inherently 3D tasks, like arbitrary object rotation, or measurements of relevant features, in a more intuitive yet accurate way. A real-time adaptation to the user’s needs is performed by monitoring hands and fingers motions, in order to allow both direct manipulation of virtual objects and conventional keyboard-like operations. The interface layout, whose details depend on the particular application at hand, is visualized via a stereoscopic see-through Head Mounted Display (HMD). It projects virtual interface elements, as well as application related virtual objects, in the central region of the user’s field of view, floating in a close-at-hand volume. The application presented here is targeted to interactive 3D visualization of human anatomy resulting from diagnostic imaging or from virtual models aimed at training activities. The testing conducted so far shows a measurable and user-wise perceptible improvement in performing 3D interactive tasks, like the selection of a particular spot on a complex 3D surface or the distance measurement between two 3D landmarks. This study includes both qualitative and quantitative reports on the system usability.","PeriodicalId":405486,"journal":{"name":"European Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Conference","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124551003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most common ones is the finite element analysis. This kind of analysis needs a simplified model, which can include idealised parts, and thus it is usually non-manifold and non-regular. During the idealisation process, the semantic information attached to the CAD model, such as features or surface types, or information used for model simplification, e.g. assumptions on the behavior type, is usually lost, thus making more difficult re-using, or, at least taking advantage, of performed simulations and models. This would be made easier if a meaningful interpretation of the object subparts is available. To this aim, in this paper, we provide a taxonomy of form features in non-manifold shapes and we describe an approach for their identification based on a decomposition of a non-manifold shapes into uniformly dimensional components proposed in [DHH06]. The process presented is the first step towards the identification of form features, since it analyzes those features containing non-manifold singularities.","PeriodicalId":405486,"journal":{"name":"European Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Conference","volume":"200 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116155137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
