optimal cone singularities for isometric flattening? #73

Open JuergenNeubauer opened 3 years ago

JuergenNeubauer commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I am a little confused how I can use BFF to achieve optimal cone singularities as described in one of your papers:

Soliman, Yousuf, Dejan Slepčev, and Keenan Crane. 2018. “Optimal Cone Singularities for Conformal Flattening.” ACM Transactions on Graphics, 105, 37 (4): 1–17.

In our practical application where we want to flatten the skin of the nose in order to cut new skin from a flat tissue we need a flattening that should preserve length (isometry) rather than area or angles locally. I haven't studied the mentioned paper in more detail but on first glance I'm not sure how to use BFF in a loop to find the optimal placement and number of cone singularities.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Juergen

Hi Juergen, unfortunately this paper isn't yet implemented into the BFF framework.
