7. Features What are features? – In words, features are where surface normal changes abruptly. – In pictures:

8. Features What are features? [Hildebrandt et al., Smooth Feature Lines, SGP05] – In math: local minimum and maximum of principle curvatures in their corresponding directions. Local maximum Cross Section

9. Features What are features? [Hildebrandt et al., Smooth Feature Lines, SGP05] – In math: local minimum and maximum of principle curvatures in their corresponding directions. – Zeros of e max that satisfy the following (similar constraints apply to e min ) Extremality: Salient constraints:

10. Features What are features? – In practice: InputValley lines (blue) Zeros of e min Ridge lines (yellow) Zeros of e max

11. Feature-Preserving Optimization Idea: if curvature values are preserved, so are their local minima and maxima, and so are the features, right?

12. Feature-Preserving Optimization Idea: if curvature values are preserved, so are their local minima and maxima, and so are the features, right? – Answer: possibly. – Concern 1: what about principle curvature directions? – Concern 2: non-convex energy?
