Mesh Saliency Analysis via Local Curvature Entropy
We present a novel approach for estimating mesh saliency. Our method is fast, flexible, and easy to implement. By applying the well known concept of Shannon entropy to 3D mesh data, we obtain an efficient method to determine mesh saliency. Comparing our method to the most recent, state of the art approach, we show that results of at least similar quality can be achieved within a fraction of the original computation time. We present saliency guided mesh simplification as a possible application.
