A Fragment Fracture Surface Segmentation Method Based on Learning of Local Geometric Features on Margins Used for Automatic Utensil Reassembly

In this section, you can access to the latest technical information related to the FUTURE project topic.

To achieve the automatic reassembly (piecing) of utensil fragments, a fracture surface extraction method based on the learning of local geometric features (core focus) and a utensil reassembly method (secondary focus) are presented in this paper. The steps of the methodological framework are as follows. First, based on obtained 3D models of utensil fragments, a triangle cell descriptor is proposed to describe the geometric features of spatial neighborhoods. Second, a set of feature mapping images (FMIs) is established as a training dataset. Third, after labeling of the ground-truth data, a convolutional neural network (CNN) is trained using the FMIs. Fourth, based on processing to eliminate mislabeled triangle cells, skeletons of the fracture surface margins can be generated. Fifth, a shortcut-based strategy is proposed to eliminate residual triangle cells to extract the fracture surfaces. Sixth, a control-point- and vector-based strategy is proposed to achieve the matching and prealignment of the fracture surfaces. Finally, a cyclic error iteration strategy is designed to assemble the fragments into a holonomic utensil. This learning-based framework is more effective at extracting the key geometric data (fracture surfaces) of utensil fragments than several classical methods. It may also enable a new strategy for 3D graph processing.
