Abstract

As discussed previously, we have decided to use surface descriptions segmented at physical boundaries. In particular, we propose that the following surface points and lines are critical for a natural segmentation of the surface:

  • Jump boundaries—where the surface undergoes a discontinuity;

  • Creases—which corresponds to a surface orientation discontinuity.
