Abstract
We propose a variational approach to computing an optimal segmentation of a 3D shape for computing a union of tight bounding volumes. Based on an affine invariant measure of e-tightness, the resemblance to ellipsoid, a novel functional is formulated that governs an optimization process to obtain a partition with multiple components. Refinement of segmentation is driven by application-specific error measures, so that the final bounding volume meets pre-specified user requirement. We present examples to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method and show that it works well for computing ellipsoidal bounding volumes as well as oriented bounding boxes.
