Figure 2From: Skin injury model classification based on shape vector analysis Mesh objects and curvature maps. Untextured 3D mesh object surfaces of plasticine models containing an abrasion (A top) and a patterned laceration (B top). At each vertex, mean curvature is mapped to a color (A bottom, B bottom; mean curvature values see color legend). Convex regions range from green (flat) to red (strongly convex) and concave regions from green to violet (strongly concave). Flat regions exhibiting a curvature magnitude below 0.17are dark gray and excluded from further evaluation. Ridges, grooves and shape configurations can be visually checked to be distinct for both 3D mesh objects now.Back to article page
