Presentation
MeshDev software compares two triangular meshes according to
the geometrical data or appearance attribute data. It returns visual
and numerical results. Mesh difference assessment uses the Attribute
Deviation Metric. Attribute deviation assessments allow one
to highlight local differences between two meshes.
The primary advantages of this software are:
-
Generality: the comparison method manages meshes
containing geometric features as well as other surface attributes such
as material colors, texture, temperature, radiation, etc. Moreover the
measurements are independent of the viewpoint and the attribute type.
-
Locality: assessements are done for given points on
the mesh surface. Assessment resolution is increased by a surface
sampling method.
-
Applications: the comparison method is suitable for
numerical models from real scenes and for synthetic models. This mesh
comparison software can be used for many applications: mesh
simplification, reverse engineering (comparison between a CAD model and
a numerical model of the real object), mesh segmentation, mesh
processing algorithm characterization, 3D matching, etc.
MeshDev software is developed in C++ and can easily be ported to other
plateforms. It manages different file formats: VRML1.0, OpenInventor,
SMF, STL. If you have special requests for future feature development,
feel free to ask me.
