Abstract
Many applications in mesh processing require the detection of feature lines. Feature lines convey the inherent features of the shape. Existing techniques to find feature lines in discrete surfaces are relied on user-specified thresholds, inaccurate and time-consuming. We use an automatic approximation technique to estimate the optimal threshold for detecting feature lines. Some examples are presented to show our method is effective, which leads to improve the feature lines visualization.
