Convex Shape Decomposition

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new shape decomposition method, called convex shape decomposition. We formalize the convex decomposition problem as an integer linear programming problem, and obtain approximate optimal solution by minimizing the total cost of decomposition under some concavity constraints. Our method is based on Morse theory and combines information from multiple Morse functions. The obtained decomposition provides a compact representation, both geometrical and topological, of original object. Our experiments show that such representation is very useful in many applications.
