A WebGL-based 3D furniture modeling system via light-field descriptor and interactive force-directed visualization
摘要
In recent years, the demand for designing and modeling tools for non-professional users has been rising. Among the available tools and methods, customizing an item of furniture according to personal preferences has also become increasingly popular. However, for non-professional modeling users, it is still not easy to design a customized 3D model from scratch. Therefore, this paper proposes an online 3D furniture modeling system to assist users to quickly and conveniently generate an ideal 3D furniture model. This system makes use of existing furniture models. We first extract the features of a 3D model via the LightField Descriptor and perform similarity calculation. We then use the features of furniture data to form a Force-Directed Layout to show the similarity among models. Our system allows users to find and select rough furniture models quickly. And through a simple interactive modeling visualization interface, users can change the components of furniture models. In addition, our system provides suggestions for similar components, as well as component adjustment tools, so that users can easily replace and edit components. As a result, an ideal furniture model can be produced. A user study has been conducted to show the effectiveness of our proposed system.
