Abstract
Objective Digital bas-relief is a special model that is either raised or lowered and is usually attached to a planar background. The spatial structure of a digital bas-relief lies between a 3D shape and a flat shape. Despite taking up limited space, a bas-relief contains a rich amount of details. Given its unique spatial structure and visual effects, a bas-relief can be applied across various fields. Various bas-relief models have been applied in designing ceramic vessels, wooden carvings, and coin badges, among others. Given its effective space utilization and excellent visual presentation, the bas-relief has been increasingly applied in decoration. However, with the continuous development of digital technology and 3D printing, the demand for and the requirements of bas-relief generation have become increasingly diverse. To enhance the diversity of digital bas-relief design and realize its stylized application, generating a bas-relief model based on height maps has been examined in the literature. Designing and adjusting the height map of relief works can help obtain highly efficient and intuitive embossed decorated models. Method By introducing masks and integrating image processing technology, a height map is generated to control the relief effect, and the existing bas-relief model generation method is adopted to generate bas-relief models with different styles. Masks have an important application value in the field of image processing. A mask is used to control the height of the local area and different areas of the relief to obtain different height information. Through this mask, a normal map with different height information can be obtained and used as input for the bas-relief model generation algorithm. This algorithm normalizes the vectors of different height information. Normal information processing offers two key advantages. On the one hand, transforming normal information can directly reflect surface variation characteristics, which play important roles in the later stages of geometric reconstruction. On the other hand, the depth value discontinuity caused by occlusion does not pose a problem because normal information ignores the differences in distance. In this paper, a Gaussian mixture model based rolling guidance normal filtering (GRNF) is applied in a normal decomposition operation. This model involves two steps. First, by using the rolling guide normal filtering algorithm, a rough structural side layer is decomposed from the original normal layer, and then the original normal layer and rough structure are subtracted to obtain a rough detail layer. Second, by using the expectation-maximization algorithm to solve the final parameter estimated by the Gaussian mixture model, the remaining detail and structural layers that contained tailed information can be separated in the coarse detail layer. After passing the filter based on the rolling guide, a structural layer with the overall contour feature of the relief model and a detail layer that retains the detailed feature information can be obtained. Finally, the surface of the decomposed detail and structural layers is reconstructed. Surface construction based on surface-from-gradients (SfG) local adjustment and global reconstruction is applied to transform the continuous surface reconstruction into a discrete space, and the surface reconstruction problem is effectively solved via least squares optimization. After obtaining the geometric model via surface reconstruction, some noise or interference can influence the visual effect of the bas-relief model. Laplacian smoothing and bilateral filters are then used for smoothing and denoising to obtain the final bas-relief model. Result Mask processing is used to control the height of the relief model and ensure the diversity of relief model generation. A model that references the existing bas-relief model generation algorithm shows a better generation effect. By setting the detail parameters of the adjustment model, the structural and flatness parameters of the overall relief are effectively controlled, and the bas-relief model can be used for diversification. A bas-relief model with different visual effects is eventually obtained. The experiment lists some elements, including pillows and tables, in the home decoration industry. The bas-relief models generated by masking also have unique characteristics and can be applied in decorating vases and walls. By adjusting their detail and structural features, bas-relief models can meet diverse needs, have clear outlines, and rich amounts of detail. Conclusion Height-map-based bas-relief model generation method can benefit the design of bas-relief model sand help meet the demands in home decoration. Results of this study can be combined with the existing 3D printing technology and applied in the production and processing of embossed products.
