The Hole Filler Helper By Russell Palmiter
Holes • Where do they come from? • Geometry acquisition and simplification • Why fill them? • Many graphics algorithms depend on manifoldness • Visually displeasing • Goals in filling them • Filled automatically • Filled without significant delay • Accurate to original topology • Or at least visually pleasing
Algorithm • Start With: Unstructured Mesh • Find Holes • Triangulate the Hole • Refine Triangulation
Algorithm • Start With: Unstructured Mesh • Find Holes • Triangulate the Hole • Refine Triangulation = Kalman Filter
Kalman Filter Prediction Correction
Prediction Correction The Prediction-Correction-Cycle
Where are Kalman Filters Used? • Control Theory • Avionics • Stochastic Modeling • Economic and financial modeling • Digital Signal Processing • Head Tracking • Applied Optimal Estimation
And Now… • It’s used in the process of filling holes in unstructured meshes
