Visual guided mesh repair

Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for mesh processing. In some examples, a method for mesh processing includes receiving an input mesh that is bounded in a bounding box. The input mesh is formed of a first plurality of vertices and a first plurality of faces that connects the first plurality of vertices. The method further includes calculating at least a first visual measure for one or more faces in the first plurality of faces. At least the first visual measure for a face is calculated according to a number of valid rays respectively at a plurality of sampling positions of the face, a valid ray at a sampling position is a ray that is traced from the sampling position to the bounding box. The method also includes performing adjustments to the input mesh to generate a repaired mesh according to at least the first visual measure.
