Abstract

We present a 3D mesh denoising method based on kernel density estimation. The proposed approach is able to reduce the oversmoothing effect and effectively remove undesirable noise while preserving prominent geometric features of a 3D mesh such as curved surface regions, sharp edges, and fine details. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in comparison to existing mesh denoising techniques.
