We propose artificial potential fields as a support theory for
a feature linking algorithm. This algorithm operates on 3D
triangle meshes derived from multiple range scans of an object,
and the features of interest are curvature extrema on
the object's surface. A problem that arises with detecting
these features is that results from standard algorithms are
often incomplete in that feature lines are broken and discontinuous.
Our novel linking algorithm closes these broken
feature lines to form a more complete feature description.
The main contribution of this algorithm is the use of arti-
ficial potential fields to govern the linking process. In this
paper, we discuss the feature detection process itself and
then define the linking procedure in the context of potential
fields. We present results for both synthetic and scanned
models.
