Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mesh reconstruction methods suffer from low accuracy due to data noise, missing data, and equipment precision limitations, leading to large noise in sparse areas and inability to adaptively reconstruct meshes of different smoothness, resulting in inefficient and memory-intensive models.

Innovation Solution

A mesh reconstruction method that presets multiple mesh resolutions, constructs an adaptive octree based on scanning data, calculates node information, determines resolution levels, and adjusts scalar field calculations to extract multi-resolution meshes, reducing noise and improving accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional mesh reconstruction methods are used, then the reconstruction process is simple, but the accuracy of the reconstructed mesh model is low due to noise and data missing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemesh reconstruction accuracyVSAvoidreconstruction method complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the reconstruction space into a hierarchical octree structure with multiple levels, where each node represents a spatial region. This segmentation allows different resolution levels to be applied to different areas, improving accuracy in critical regions while maintaining simplicity in less important areas, thereby resolving the contradiction between accuracy and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements adaptive mesh refinement by determining local quality metrics for different regions of the scanned object. High-quality reconstruction is applied to areas with important features or high curvature, while lower quality is acceptable in flat or less important regions. This local quality approach improves overall accuracy without uniformly increasing complexity across the entire model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If uniform high-resolution mesh is used throughout the model, then the accuracy is improved, but the model scale and memory consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemesh reconstruction accuracyVSAvoidmodel scale and memory consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The octree structure segments the mesh into hierarchical levels, allowing the system to store and process only the necessary level of detail for each region. Coarse regions use fewer polygons while fine regions use more, optimizing the quantity of mesh data while maintaining accuracy where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic resolution adjustment where the mesh resolution is not fixed but adapts based on local geometric features, curvature, and importance. This dynamic approach allows the model to use high resolution only where necessary, reducing overall model scale and memory consumption while maintaining accuracy in critical areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If noise filtering is applied to reduce data noise, then the accuracy is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemesh reconstruction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary noise filtering and data processing during the octree construction phase, organizing cleaned data into the hierarchical structure before actual mesh generation. This preliminary action reduces the computational burden during the reconstruction phase, improving accuracy while managing processing time efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

By segmenting the processing into hierarchical octree levels, the patent applies noise filtering and refinement operations only at necessary levels and in necessary regions. This segmented approach reduces overall processing time compared to applying uniform high-level filtering across the entire dataset, while still improving accuracy where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a mesh reconstruction method, a device and a storage medium. The mesh reconstruction method includes constructing a data structure according to three-dimensional scanning data and a preset mesh side length. Node information of a target tree node among a plurality of tree nodes included in the data structure is determined. A level of a mesh to be extracted of the target tree node is determined according to the target data. Once a scalar field of the target tree node is calculated according to the node information of a neighboring tree node corresponding to the target tree node and the node information of the target tree node, a reconstructed mesh model is obtained according to the scalar field.
