What is this?
This toolkit is a sandbox for mesh and point set processing in Matlab.
Matlab is a mixed bag for geometry processing. The built-in libraries provide lots of
great support if you want to do things like solve linear systems and minimize energies,
and since Matlab is so ubiquitous in machine learning it is easy to get code
for all sorts of complicated things. The interactive environment is also great
for rapid prototyping and experimentation.
Unfortunately, matlab is not particularly suitable for working with large
arbitrary graphs (ie meshes). Explicit loops and branching are ridiculously slow,
so efficient code often takes the form of cryptic, "write-only" statements that
only matlab gurus will be able to understand.
Even text parsing is abysmally slow. Perhaps the most useful feature of this
package is that the OBJ loader automatically creates binary caches. The first time
you load your OBJ will be slow, after that it will be instantaneous. The package
also supports useful basic mesh operations like:
- extracting a submesh copy with a map back to the base mesh
- plotting meshes in various ways
- picking faces and vertices
- interrogating meshes (one rings, areas, edges, boundary loops, etc)
I use this package for prototyping and experimentation, so my goal has been
clarity over efficiency. To that end, I have written many convenience functions
which, in my opinion, make the code vastly more readable. For example,
you can compute the magnitude of vector X using:
vmag(X)
rather than the more cryptic (and longer):
sqrt(sum(X.^2))
And vmag() automatically computes per-row magnitudes if X is a list.
Similarly, adding a vector v to one or more points X is:
vadd(X,v)
instead of
X + repmat(v,size(X,1),1)
Where possible, the utility functions will automatically handle lists
of elements, arbitrary dimension, and sometimes even ordering (for
exmaple the matrix-vector multiply mulv produces the same output vector
regardless of whether v is a row or column vector)
In terms of higher-order geometry processing, there are implementations of
various algorithms presented in the literature, such as:
- vertex weights (cotangent, authalic, mean-value, voronoi area-weighting,
and my own unpublished techniques based on discrete exponential maps)
- laplace-beltrami operators and analysis (based on above)
- planar parameterization (MIPS, standard fixed-boundary linear techniques,
natural conformal, spectral conformal, variants of dimensionality
reduction techniques from machine learning, discrete exponential map,
and my own combinations of these techniques)
- mesh deformation (Laplacian, Poisson, Rotation-Invariant Coordinates)
- mesh fairing (implicit laplacian, second-order mean curvature)
See the documentation below for specifics and references.
Various sample meshes and point sets are included in the \data subdirectory, and lots of sample code in the various test files
and the misc\ subdirectory (which contains exploratory code that
was the basis for some unpublished work).
There is mex used here and there, and some external dependencies used
in some of the sample/testing code. You may have to jump through some
hoops to get those to work on your computer. Good luck!

========================
INSTALLATION / SETUP
========================
This toolkit contains several subdirectories, and will not work
properly unless they are all in your paths. The best way to deal
with this is to have matlab automatically add the necessary paths
on startup.
On windows, you can automatically add the paths by inserting
the following commands in the startup file stored at
\MATLAB\startup.m (create if it does not exist):
addpath(genpath('c:\path\to\matlab'));
(where 'c:\path\to\matlab' is the path to the package root).
If you do not have it already, I strongly recommend downloading
Tom Minka's excellent lightspeed package:
http://research.microsoft.com/~minka/software/lightspeed/
===================
DATA STRUCTURES
===================
Matlab doesn't really do explicit data structures. I use a
struct for meshes (see below) but vectors are just arrays.
The code in this package assumes that:
- Points and Vectors are (1xd) matrices
- lists of points/vectors are (Mxd) matrices (M rows x d columns)
So, stick with that.
