Harmonic Skeleton
Pipeline description
This example first loads the pegasus triangle mesh from disk.
For pre-processing, an elevation function is computed on the mesh, creating Ids for all vertices afterwards.
From the created ids the bottom middle of the platform, both wing tips, the tip of the nose and the tip of the horn of pegasus are selected (right view shows them together with more vertices).
Now, a HarmonicField is computed using these five points as extrema in the output field, helping to reduce noise in the dataset, creating a smooth field with defined extrema that can later be extracted.
The harmonic field is then normalized using the ScalarFieldNormalizer.
Then, the PersistenceDiagram is computed on the normalized field, extracting a threshold that is used to simplify the harmonic field using TopologicalSimplification.
Finally, the ReebGraph is constructed, extracting its nodes and arcs afterwards (right view shows them). The arcs of the ReebGraph are smoothed with the GeometrySmoother to produce the final, output shape skeleton.
