Automatic Tooth Segmentation of Dental Mesh Based on Harmonic Fields

Figure 9

Time statistics of our dental mesh segmentation. The timing is recorded in seconds for (a) dental base cutting, (b) harmonic field precomputing, (c) harmonic field updating, (d) boundary extraction, and (e) total time of dental segmentation. The horizontal axis illustrates different mesh model scales by number of mesh points and faces. The vertical axis illustrates the time consumption for procedures in the segmentation framework.
