Sparse Metric-based Mesh Saliency (2020)
Journal Article

In this paper, we propose an accurate and robust approach to salient region detection for 3D polygonal surface meshes. The salient regions of a mesh are those that geometrically stand out from their contexts and therefore are semantically important f... Read More about Sparse Metric-based Mesh Saliency.
