We propose a novel method for the compact storage of geodesic distance information, whi ch enables answering point-to-point geodesic distance queries very efficie ntly. For a triangle mesh with n vertices, if computing the geodesic dista nce to all vertices from a single source vertex costs O(f(n)) time, then w e generate a database of size O(mn log n) in O((f(n)+m³n) √n) time in a pr eprocessing stage, where m is a constant that depends on the geometric com plexity of the surface. We achieve this by computing a nested bisection of the mesh surface using separator curves and storing compactly-described f unctions approximating the distances between each mesh vertex and a small relevant subset of these curves. Using this database, the geodesic distanc e between two mesh vertices can then be approximated well by solving a sma ll number of simple univariate minimization problems in O(m log n) worst c ase time and O(m) average case time. Our method provides an excellent trad eoff between the size of the database, query runtime, and accuracy of the result. It can be used to compress exact or approximate geodesic distances , e.g., those obtained by VTP (exact), fast DGG, fast marching, or the hea t method (approximate) and is very efficient if f(n)=n, as for the fast DG G method.\n\nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS, ON-DEMAND ACCESS\n\nLangu age: ENGLISH\n\nFormat: IN-PERSON, ON-DEMAND URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=papers_470&sess=sess15 6 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
