Title:
- DeforMe: Projection-Based Visualization of Deformable Surfaces Using Invisible Textures
Description:
In this paper, we present DeforMe, a new projection-based mixed reality technique for augmenting deformable surfaces with deformation rendering graphics. DeforMe combines a geometry tracking method with a deformation reconstruction model to estimate the tangential deformation of a surface. The motions of the feature points are measured between two successive frames. Moreover, the system estimates the surface deformation on the basis of the moving least squares algorithm, and interpolates the deformation estimation result to the projected graphics. Users can interact in real time with the deformable object, while the realistic projected graphics deform according to the deformation of the surface. We aim to integrate our technique with various types of design-support and interactive applications in spatial augmented reality.
