Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Computer graphics and 3D technology have made a significant impact on our daily life, ranging from fields such as the entertainment industry (film, gaming, AR/VR) and healthcare medical visualisation to industrial digital twins. With the development of AI and machine learning, the production process will be shortened, and more realistic 3D computer graphics will be available for applications. Therefore, this Special Issue will present new ideas and experimental results in the fields of 3D computer graphics, real-time graphics, computer vision and machine learning, ranging from the design, algorithm development and theoretical stages to the graphics’ practical use.

Areas relevant to computer graphics, geometric modelling, computational geometry, computational photography, 3D reconstruction, shape and surface modelling include, but are not limited, to real-time graphics rendering techniques, volume rendering, computer animation and simulation, physically based modelling, computer vision for computer graphics, machine learning for graphics, data compression for graphics, metaverse (VR/MR/XR), computational fabrication and scientific visualisation.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

We introduce a novel computational paradigm for reconstructing solid computer-aided design (CAD) features from the surface of a segmented manifold triangular mesh. This paradigm addresses the challenge of capturing high-level design semantics for manifold triangular meshes and facilitates parametric and variational design capabilities. We categorize four prevalent features, namely extrusion, rotation, sweep, and loft, as generalized swept bodies driven by cross-sectional sketches and feature paths, providing a unified mathematical representation for various feature types. The numerical optimization-based approach conducts geometric processing on the segmented manifold triangular mesh patch, extracting cross-sectional sketch curves and feature paths from its surface, and then reconstructing appropriate features using the Open CASCADE kernel. We employ the personalized three-dimensional (3D) printed model as a case study. Parametric and variant designs of the 3D-printed models are achieved through feature reconstruction of the manifold triangular mesh obtained via 3D scanning. Full article
