MapContour carries out this transformation, for the specific warp methods defined by the ShapeTools elastic warp protocol (2008). Given a surface, and a contour whose vertices lay on, or near, the faces of that surface, MapContour will map (flatten) the contour onto the 2d plane containing the mapped (flattened) surface.

• Using vertices of the original face and vertices of flatten face, find transformation.

Three required inputs of the program will be following: 1. A orgianl shape input file. 2. A file contains contour. 3. Output file name.

• The face of the 3D surface (presumed to contain the contour) that contains the vertex is located.
• For this face, find vertices of flatten face which is transformed from the original.
• Using vertices of the orinal face and vertices of flatten face, find transformation.
• Transform the point on the contour using this transformation.

Description

This program maps a contour ,whose vertices lay on or near a three dimensional surface, onto a second three dimensional surface. The program expects that the two surfaces contain vertices that are homologous. The correspondences between the vertices of the shapes define the map applied to the contour vertices.

Method

Each vertex of a contour is treated as follows:

• The face of the first surface (presumed to contain the contour) that contains the vertex is located.
• The vertices of this face are mapped to the second shape.
• (bc continue)
