Abstract
Local color information in a 3D mesh is used to enhance fine geometric features such as those in embroidered clothes for 3D printing. In some implementations, vertex color information is used to detect edges and to enhance geometry. In one embodiment, a 3D model is projected into a 2D space to obtain a 2D image, so that pixels that lie on edges in the 2D image can be detected. Further, such edge information is propagated back to the 3D model to enhance the geometry of the 3D model. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
