4 Curvature is scale dependent is scale-independent

5 Discrete Curvature Integrated Quantity! Cannot view α i as pointwise curvature α 1 α 2 It is integrated curvature over a local area associated with vertex i

6 Discrete Curvature Integrated Quantity! Integrated over a local area associated with vertex i α 1 α 2 A 1

7 Discrete Curvature Integrated Quantity! Integrated over a local area associated with vertex i α 1 α 2 A 1 A 2

8 Discrete Curvature Integrated Quantity! Integrated over a local area associated with vertex i α 1 α 2 A 1 A 2 The vertex areas A i form a covering of the curve. They are pairwise disjoint (except endpoints).

9 Structure Preservation Arbitrary discrete curve discrete analogue of continuous theorem total signed curvature obeys discrete turning number theorem even coarse mesh (curve) which continuous theorems to preserve? that depends on the application

10 Recap Structure- preservation Convergence For an arbitrary (even coarse) discrete curve, the discrete measure of curvature obeys the discrete turning number theorem. In the limit of a refinement sequence, discrete measures of length and curvature agree with continuous measures.

11 Surfaces

12 Surfaces, Parametric Form Continuous surface n p u p v p(u,v) Tangent plane at point p(u,v) is spanned by v u These vectors don t have to be orthogonal

13 Isoparametric Lines Lines on the surface when keeping one parameter fixed v u

14 Surface Normals Surface normal: n p u p v p(u,v) Assuming regular parameterization, i.e., v u

15 Normal Curvature n p u p v t p Unit-length direction t in the tangent plane (if p u and p v are orthogonal): ϕ t Tangent plane

16 Normal Curvature n The curve γ is the intersection of the surface with the plane p u p v through n and t. γ t p Normal curvature: κ n (ϕ) = κ(γ(p)) ϕ t Tangent plane

17 Surface Curvatures Principal curvatures Minimal curvature Maximal curvature Mean curvature Gaussian curvature

21 Mean Curvature Intuition for mean curvature

22 Classification A point p on the surface is called Elliptic, if K > 0 Parabolic, if K = 0 Hyperbolic, if K < 0 Developable surface iff K = 0

23 Local Surface Shape By Curvatures K > 0, κ 1 = κ 2 K = 0 Isotropic: all directions are principal directions spherical (umbilical) planar K > 0 K = 0 K < 0 Anisotropic: 2 distinct κ 1 = 0 κ 1 < 0 principal κ 1 > 0, κ 2 > 0 κ 2 > 0 κ 2 > 0 directions elliptic parabolic hyperbolic

27 Fundamental Forms First fundamental form Second fundamental form Together, they define a surface (if some compatibility conditions hold)

28 Fundamental Forms I allows to measure length, angles, area, curvature arc element area element

31 Laplace Operator Laplace operator gradient operator 2nd partial derivatives Intuitive Explanation The Laplacian Δf(p) of a function f at a point p, up to a constant depending on the dimension, is the rate at which the average value of f over spheres centered at p deviates from f(p) as the function in Cartesian radius of the sphere grows. Euclidean space divergence coordinates operator

32 Laplace-Beltrami Operator Extension of Laplace to functions on manifolds gradient Laplace- operator Beltrami function on surface M divergence operator

33 Laplace-Beltrami Operator For coordinate functions: Laplace- Beltrami gradient operator mean curvature function on surface M divergence operator unit surface normal

34 Differential Geometry on Meshes Assumption: meshes are piecewise linear approximations of smooth surfaces Can try fitting a smooth surface locally (say, a polynomial) and find differential quantities analytically But: it is often too slow for interactive setting and error prone

35 Discrete Differential Operators Approach: approximate differential properties at point v as spatial average over local mesh neighborhood N(v) where typically v = mesh vertex N (v) = k-ring neighborhood k

36 Discrete Laplace-Beltrami Uniform discretization: v i Depends only on connectivity = simple and efficient Bad approximation for irregular triangulations v j

37 Discrete Laplace-Beltrami Intuition for uniform discretization

38 Discrete Laplace-Beltrami Intuition for uniform discretization v i-1 v i v i+1 γ

41 Voronoi Vertex Area v i θ v j Unfold the triangle flap onto the plane (without distortion)

42 Voronoi Vertex Area v i v i Flattened flap θ c j+1 v j c j

43 Discrete Laplace-Beltrami Cotangent formula Accounts for mesh geometry Potentially negative/ infinite weights

44 Discrete Laplace-Beltrami Cotangent formula Can be derived using linear Finite Elements Nice property: gives zero for planar 1-rings!

45 Discrete Laplace-Beltrami v i Uniform Laplacian L u (v i ) Cotangent Laplacian L c (v i ) Normal β α v j

46 Discrete Laplace-Beltrami v i Uniform Laplacian L u (v i ) Cotangent Laplacian L c (v i ) Normal α β For nearly equal edge lengths Uniform Cotangent v j

47 Discrete Laplace-Beltrami v i Uniform Laplacian L u (v i ) Cotangent Laplacian L c (v i ) Normal α β For nearly equal edge lengths Uniform Cotangent v j Cotan Laplacian allows computing discrete normal
