INTERACTIVE TOOL FOR INSPECTING AND REPAIRING THREE DIMENSIONAL MODELS

摘要

A mesh repair application within a rendering engine is configured to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows an end-user of the rendering engine to inspect and repair various defects associated with a three-dimensional (3D) model. The GUI provides a filmstrip that includes different visual representations of the various defects. When the end-user selects a given representation, the mesh repair application updates the GUI to display a detailed view of the defect associated with the selected visual representation. An advantage of the approach described herein is that the repair of defects associated with the 3D model may be expedited.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for repairing a set of defects associated with a three-dimensional (3D) model, the method comprising:
analyzing the 3D model to identify the set of defects; rendering a first image that represents the 3D model from a first viewing position; generating within the first image a set of defect indicators, wherein each defect indicator is associated with a different defect in the 3D model and resides at a different location within the first image; rendering a different thumbnail image for each defect in the set of defects, wherein the thumbnail image associated with a particular defect shows the particular defect from a given viewing position; and causing a graphical user interface (GUI) to display the first image and a filmstrip that includes the thumbnail images to the end-user.
