Abstract

In this chapter we adapt the notions introduced in Chap. 2 to the special case of the apparent contour of a smooth, possibly nonconnected, compact surface \(\Sigma \) without boundary embedded in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\). Embeddedness allows to enrich an apparent contour with a labelling, which, in particular, permits to define the visible contour.

Fußnoten
1
Recall that closed here means compact without boundary.
 
2
We advise the reader that in some of the figures, it will be convenient to imagine the x 1 x 2 plane as horizontal, with the z direction being vertical, and e 3 pointing downwards.
 
3
We shall show a completion theorem starting only from the visible part of the apparent contour.
 
4
We shall show a reconstruction theorem of a three-dimensional shape starting from the knowledge of the whole apparent contour, and of a consistent labelling on it.
 
5
Following, e.g., [9], a smooth embedding of M into \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) is a smooth injective map having differential of rank 2 (maximal) at all points of M.
 
6
See [13] for stability theorems of composite mappings.
 
7
This could be achieved also in terms of small changes in the viewing direction, as in [16, 17].
 
8
The critical curve divides, with the terminology of [16], the “anterior” surfaces from the “posterior” ones.
 
9
Compare with Remark 2.​2.​6 which deals with a more general case.
 
10
For simplicity, in the present example, the set E is not disjoint from the retinal plane. Clearly, this assumption is irrelevant.
 
11
Note that e 3 is the tangent vector to the critical curve at the origin, thus coinciding with the kernel of \(d\pi _{\vert \Sigma }\).
 
12
The function \(d_{\Sigma }\) is not defined at a crossing, where it could be defined as a multifunction taking two nonnegative integer values: we shall not need such an extension.
 
13
For results concerning the number of cusps of apparent contours in general contexts, see [15, p. 409], [14, p. 84].
 
14
As already anticipated in the Introduction, the existence of a labelling satisfying all compatibility conditions makes possible the construction of an abstract smooth surface M and a smooth embedding \(\mathrm{e}: M \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{3}\) so that \(\Sigma = \mathrm{e}(M)\); see Theorem 5.​3.​1 for a precise statement.
 
15
Recall that a closed surface embedded in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) encloses an interior, hence an outward normal is well defined; see, for instance, [10, p. 89].
 
16
Notice carefully that the signs + and − in Fig. 8.​1 refer to the embedding sign of a cusp Definition 8.​1.​2), and not to the notion of positivity and negativity of Definition 2.​2.​12.
 
17
Hence h 1 preserves the orientation of the arcs.
 
18
This list of properties originates the definition of visible contour graph given in Chap. 4: indeed, the visible contour is a visible contour graph in the sense of Definition 4.​1.​8.
