Recently, there has been renewed interest in signed distance bound representations due to their unique properties for 3D shape modelling. This is especially the case for deep learning-based bounds. However, it is beneficial to work with polygons in most computer graphics applications. Thus, in this paper, we introduce and investigate an asymptotically fast method for transforming signed distance bounds into polygon meshes. This is achieved by combining the principles of sphere tracing (or ray marching) with traditional polygonization techniques, such as marching cubes. We provide theoretical and experimental evidence that this approach is of the O(N2logN) computational complexity for a polygonization grid with N3 cells. The algorithm is tested on both a set of primitive shapes and signed distance bounds generated from point clouds by machine learning (and represented as neural networks). Given its speed, implementation simplicity, and portability, we argue that it could prove useful during the modelling stage as well as in shape compression for storage. |
