Monte Carlo Steklov Operators for Large-Scale Geometry Processing in the Wild 文章

arXiv:2606.05581v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Intrinsic methods fill the default toolbox for geometry processing on meshes. Intrinsic operators, in particular the Laplacian, underlie methods that require invariance to isometry and have hence been employed in many algorithms for shape analysis, learning, and editing. However, intrinsic methods are predicated on assumptions that quickly become brittle when working with in-the-wild geometry, where (i) mesh quality is not guaranteed, and (ii) many meshes are modeled with multiple connected components. In such settings, volumetric constructions are better-defined, since restrictions on surface topology can be relaxed. This paper presents a Monte Carlo method for estimating the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) operator -- a boundary-to-boundary volumetric operator -- and its associated Steklov eigenmodes. We build on recent developments in Monte Carlo geometry processing by casting this boundary operator itself as the subject of estimation.
