Abstract

We present a novel approach to the problem of hairstyle construction from raw surface data such as the ones obtained from surface scans. Our approach is based on a shape matching algorithm that fits individual hair fibers into a given volume according to a set of boundary conditions and additional hair density information. Our method employs a mechanical rod model based on the special theory of Cosserat rods. Such models can efficiently be used to simulate the deformation of individual fibers in subsequent manipulation steps.
