Differential Coordinates for Interactive Mesh Editing Yaron Lipman Olga Sorkine Daniel Cohen-Or David Levin Tel-Aviv University Christian Rössl Hans-Peter Seidel Max-Planck Institut für Informatik
Our goal: Edit a surface while retaining its visual appearance
Edit a surface while retaining its visual appearance The details are deformed The details shape is preserved Original surface
Our goal • Editing a surface while retaining its visual appearance • Smooth deformation • Smooth transition • Preserve relative local directions of the details • Minimal user interaction • Interactive time response T
Differential coordinates • Differential coordinates are defined for triangular mesh vertices average of the neighbors the relative coordinate vector
Differential coordinates • Differential coordinates are defined for triangular mesh vertices
Why differential coordinates? • They represent the local detail / local shape description • The direction approximates the normal • The size approximates the mean curvature

Laplacian reconstruction • Denote by a triangular mesh with geometry , embedded in R³ . • For each vertex we define the Laplacian vector: • The Laplacians represents the details locally.
Laplacian reconstruction • The operator is linear and thus can be represented by the following matrix:
Laplacian reconstruction • Transforming the mesh to the differential representation: • Note that where
Laplacian reconstruction • Thus for reconstructing the mesh from the Laplacian representation: add constraints to get full rank system and therefore unique solution, i.e. unique minimizer to the functional where is the index set of constrained vertices , are weights and are the spatial constraints.
Laplacian reconstruction The use of Laplacian (differential) representation and least squares solution forces local detail preserving
Laplacian reconstruction • Laplacian reconstruction gives smoothtransformation, interactive time and ease of user interface -using few spatial constraints • but doesn’t preserve details orientation and shape
Rotated Laplacian reconstruction • We’d like to perform deformation which preserves the detail orientation and shape: • We’d like to estimate the target shape Laplacians
Rotated Laplacian reconstruction • For each 1-ring we look for rigid affine transformations :
Rotated Laplacian reconstruction • The Laplacians are translation invariant:
Rotated Laplacian reconstruction • Laplacians are not rotational invariant (they represent detail with orientation) • Note that the Laplacian operator commute with linear rotations : R
Rotated Laplacian reconstruction • Therefore we get: • So all we need is to estimate the local rotations.
Rotated Laplacian reconstruction • From our assumption that detail remain with sameorientation to the underlying smooth surface: The rotations are defined by the smoothed surface. • We use the Laplacian reconstruction to evaluate the smoothed underlying surface normals.
Rotated Laplacian reconstruction • In summary we have the following steps: Reconstruct the surface with original Laplacians: Approximate local rotations Rotate each Laplacian coordinate by Reconstruct the edited surface:
Implementation • We solve the normal equations via factorization. • The factorization is done once for each ROI. • And back substitution for each new handle location.
Future work (October 2003) • The main problem of the Laplacian coordinates are the need to estimate the rotation explicitly (also in Zhou et al. SIGGRAPH 2004). • Instead those rotations can be computed implicitly so that the final shape is defined in one step! • To be presented in SGP 2004 in Nice next month…
