"Geometry Images" Matlab Implementation

The paper "Geometry images" describes the process of remeshing of irregular triangle meshes onto a completely regular structure that is called "Geometry Image". It captures geometry as a simple 2D array of quantized points. Surface signals like normals and colors are stored in similar 2D arrays using the same implicit surface parametrization --- texture coordinates are absent. To create a geometry image, an arbitrary mesh is cut along a network of edge paths, and parametrize the resulting single chart onto a square.

Has anyone done any implementation of this work to share?

Hi ionas

have a look at this course:

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/gpeyre/numerical-tours/blob/master/matlab/meshdeform_1_parameterization.ipynb

You can find the required toolboxes in the section "Installing toolboxes and setting up the path" at http://www.numerical-tours.com/matlab/meshdeform_2_parameterization_sphere/

Hope it helps!
