Detection of boundary loops in non-manifold meshes

Abstract

In some examples, an apparatus for mesh processing includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry receives a first mesh frame with polygons representing a surface of an object, and determining that the first mesh frame is a non manifold type mesh in response to one or more singularity components in the first mesh frame. The processing circuitry converts the first mesh frame to a second mesh frame that is a manifold type mesh. The first mesh frame has first boundary loops that respectively correspond to second boundary loops in the second mesh frame. The processing circuitry detects the second boundary loops in the second mesh frame, and determines the first boundary loops in the first mesh frame according to the second boundary loops in the second mesh frame.
