Abstract

Embodiments are disclosed for computing accurate smooth occluding contours. In one embodiment, a method of computing accurate smooth occluding contours includes projecting a boundary polygon associated with a first region of a three-dimensional (3D) object to a two-dimensional (2D) image plane, the boundary polygon comprising a plurality of contour vertices and edges connecting the plurality of contour vertices, triangulating the first region in the 2D image plane to generate a 2D triangulation, and generating a 3D mesh for the first region by mapping the 2D triangulation to the 3D object.
