Frequency-domain oversampling for multi-resolution surface reconstruction: towards digital modeling of cultural heritage
This research proposes a novel multi-resolution surface reconstruction framework leveraging frequency-domain oversampling for enhanced fidelity in digital modeling of cultural heritage. It addresses challenges in accurately reconstructing complex geometric details and surface irregularities often encountered in cultural heritage digitization. By integrating a curvature-adaptive octree subdivision strategy and a global fitting implicit function with strict gradient constraints, the method achieves superior reconstruction accuracy, computational efficiency, and robustness against noise, proving critical for high-resolution digital preservation and restoration.

Global Fitting Implicit Function Details
The proposed global fitting implicit function enforces strict gradient constraints through dot product operations, ensuring both surface smoothness and geometric consistency. It minimizes an energy function comprising a point interpolation term, a normal constraint term, and a Hessian-based regularization term. This formulation helps reconstruct continuous and watertight 3D surfaces with high accuracy, addressing the limitations of traditional methods that struggle with complex geometries and topological features.

Cultural Heritage Application Case Study: Blue-and-White Porcelain Teapot
Description: Application of the proposed method to CT scan data of a blue-and-white porcelain teapot and a three-legged incense burner from Northwestern University.
Challenge: Accurately reconstruct complex geometric details such as internal perforations, fine surface textures, and intricate carved patterns, often degraded by noise and traditional methods.
Solution: The curvature-adaptive octree subdivision combined with frequency-domain oversampling and the global fitting implicit function enabled precise spatial sampling and high-fidelity surface reconstruction.
Results: Effectively reconstructed complex details while preserving overall surface smoothness, outperforming traditional methods (PR, SSD, PGR) which blurred intricate patterns, and deep learning methods (CAP-UDF, DUDF, NP) which introduced noise artifacts and geometric distortions.
