These applications support reading in textures meshes in one of two formats:
<UL>
<LI><A href="http://www.cc.gatech.edu/projects/large_models/ply.html">PLY</A> (to support multiple charts, texture is assumed to be encoded at wedges/corners rather than vertices.)

TextureFiltering:
Supports the (localized) smoothing and sharpening of a texture by solving a screened Poisson equation which gives the signal whose values match the input and whose gradients match the modulated gradients of the input. If no output texture is specified, the executable will launch an interactive viewer that supports local "painting" of gradient modulation values and prescription of a global interpolation weight. 
In the interactive viewer the modulation can be set globally by dragging the slider on the top left. 
The modulation can be set locally by holding the [SHIFT] key down and either dragging with the left mouse button (to smooth) or the right mouse button (to sharpen).

TextureStitching:
Supports the stitching together of multiple (possibly overlapping) textures by solving a screened Poisson equation with value constraints defined by the input texture.
The interactive viewer runs in two modes:
<OL>
<LI> A user specifies a single composite texture and (optionally) a mask file indicating when texels in the composite come from the same source.
In this case gradient constraints are obtained by copying gradients from the composite whenever the two texels defining an edge come from the same source, and setting the gradient constraint to zero along edges coming from different sources. If no mask file is provided, a default mask is created by assigning texels the same color if and only if they are covered by the same chart. 
The viewer shows the stitched texture on the left and the composite texture on the right.
<LI> A user specifies multiple partial texture files and corresponding confidence masks.
In this case gradient constraints are obtained by blending gradients from the different inputs, weighted by confidence, and setting gradients to zero in regions where there are no textures with non-zero confidence.
The viewer shows the stitched texture on the left and a partial texture on the right. The user can selectively replace blended value/gradient constraints with the values/gradients from the partial texture by holding the [SHIFT] key down and dragging over the region to be in-painted.

<a name="USAGE">USAGE EXAMPLES (WITH SAMPLE DATA)</a> 
For testing purposes, a number of <A HREF="http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~misha/Code/TextureSignalProcessing/TSP.Data.zip">textured mapped models</A> are provided (using the .ply extension).
Of these, David and Julius include normal maps (using the .normap extension), Fertility includes the eight harmonic vector-fields (using the .vf extension), and Rooster uses (partial) texture maps as well as a mask image and confidence maps.

<ul>

<summary>
TextureFiltering
</summary>
To run this executable you must specify the input mesh as well as the texture itself:
<blockquote><code>% Bin/*/TextureFiltering --in ../TSP.Data/David/david.ply ../TSP.Data/David/david.normap</code></blockquote>
This opens a viewer allowing the user to prescribe both global gradient modulation weights (through the slider) and local modulation weights (through a paint-brush interface, by depressing the [SHIFT] key and dragging with the left mouse button to smooth and the right mouse button to sharpen). 
You can also bypass the viewer and output a globally sharpened/smoothed texture to a file:
<blockquote><code>% Bin/*/TextureFiltering --in ../TSP.Data/Julius/julius.ply ../TSP.Data/Julius/julius.normap --out julius.smooth.normap --modulation 0 --interpolation 100</code></blockquote>
Here a modulation weight less than 1 indicates that gradients should be dampened (resulting in smoothing) and a small interpolation weight reduces the interpolation penalty, exaggerating the smoothing.
</details>
</dl>

<dl>
<details>
<summary>
TextureStitching
</summary>
This viewer can be run in one of two modes:
<OL>
<LI>
In addition to the input mesh, specify a (single) composite texture and mask.
If adjacent texels share the same mask color, they are assumed to come from the same source, and the gradient between them is preserved.
Otherwise, the gradient is set to zero. Additionally, a mask color of black is reserved to indicate that the texel value is unknown. 
For example, running
<blockquote><code>% Bin/*/TextureFiltering --in Rooster/rooster.ply ../TSP.Data/Rooster/texels.png --mask ../TSP.Data/Rooster/mask.png</code></blockquote>
opens a viewer showing the stitched texture on the left and the composite texture on the right.
<LI>
In addition to the input mesh, specify (multiple) partial textures and associated confidence maps.
The code blends the gradients in regions of overlap, with weights determined by the mask.
Texel and confidence file names are specified using integer format specifiers, with zero-indexing.
Colors are transformed to scalar confidence values by computing the gray-scale value and normalizing to the range [0,1]. 
For example, running
<blockquote><code>% Bin/*/TextureFiltering --in Rooster/rooster.ply ../TSP.Data/Rooster/texels-%02d.png --mask ../TSP.Data/Rooster/mask-%02d.png --multi</code></blockquote>
opens a viewer showing the stitched texture on the left and the first partial textures on the right. 
Pressing the 't' key toggles forward through the partial textures and pressing 'T' toggles backwards. 
Holding [SHIFT] and clicking on the stitched model replaces the blended gradients under the paint-brush with the gradients from the currently visualized partial-texture. 
</OL>
You can also bypass the viewer and output the stitched texture to a file:
<blockquote><code>% Bin/*/TextureStitching --in Rooster/rooster.ply ../TSP.Data/Rooster/texels-%02d.png --mask ../TSP.Data/Rooster/mask-%02d.png --multi --out stitched.png</code></blockquote>

LineIntegralConvolution
</summary>
To run this executable you must specify the input mesh:
<blockquote><code>% Bin/*/LineIntegralConvolution --in ../TSP.Data/Fertility/fertility.ply</code></blockquote>
This opens a viewer visualizing a vector-field by performing anisotropic diffusion to simulate line-integral-convolution. (To start the iterative solver, press the [SPACE] key.) By default, the vector-field used is defined by the (maximal) principal curvature directions. 
You can also explicitly prescribe the vector-field:
<blockquote><code>% Bin/*/LineIntegralConvolution --in ../TSP.Data/Fertility/fertility.ply --inVF ../TSP.Data/Fertility/harmonic-001.vf --intrinsicVF</code></blockquote>
(The --intrinsicVF flag is required because the vector-field in the file is represented using two intrinsic coordinates per triangle instead of three extrinsic ones.) 
You can also bypass the viewer and output the line-integral-convolution texture to a file:
<blockquote><code>% Bin/*/LineIntegralConvolution --in ../TSP.Data/Hand/hand.ply --minimal --out hand.minimal.jpg</code></blockquote>
Here a visualization of the minimal principal curvature directions is written out as a texture image.

ReactionDiffusion
</summary>
To run this executable you must specify the input mesh:

This opens a viewer visualizing the "stripes" reaction-diffusion process. (To start the process, press the [SPACE] key.) 
You can also bypass the viewer and output the reaction-diffusion texture to a file:
<blockquote><code>% Bin/*/ReactionDiffusion --in ../TSP.Data/David/david.ply --out david.dots.jpg --dots --outSteps 2000</code></blockquote>
Here a "dots" pattern is written out to an image. (Empirically, we have found that this reaction-diffusion process takes more steps to converge, hence the larger number of steps.)

<CODE>GradientDomain</CODE>:
Once constructed, this object can be used to query the active texels/edges, as well as create the standard mass/stiffness/divergence matrices and apply the mass/stiffness/operators to the texel data. In the descriptions below, the template parameter <CODE>Real</CODE> is the floating point type used to represent data (typically <code>double</code>) and <CODE>Solver</CODE> is the class used to factor and solve the sparse system of linear equations (<CODE>Eigen::SimplicialLDLT</CODE> by default).
</SUMMARY>
Code Description: 
<UL>
The code performs basic gradient domain processing applications including texture smoothing/sharpening and stitching.
This is done by solving for the output texture values which simultaneouly fit value and derivative constraints.
<UL>
<LI> Value constraints are described by specifying the desired values at the texels, defined to be the input texel values.
<LI> Gradient constraints are described by specifying the desired differences across edges between texels, defined to be the dampened/amplified differences between input texture values (and zerod out if the texels come from different patches, in the case of stitching).
</UL>
</UL>

Code walk-through: 
<UL>
 The details of the implementation can be found in the <code>GradientDomain.example.cpp</code> code.
 <UL>

 <LI>Lines 143-157: The <CODE>GradientDomain</CODE> object is constructed, passing in the resolution of the mesh as well as functor giving the indices of embedding/texture-vertices for each corner, functors giving the positions of embedding/texture-vertices, the texture image resolution, and the number of quadrature points per triangle used for integration (valid values are 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 32).
 <LI>Lines 161-166: The input texture values are read from the image into a <CODE>std::vector</CODE>, using the member functions <CODE>GradientDomain::numNodes</CODE> to get the number of (active) texels in the texture map and <CODE>GradientDomain::node</CODE> to get the coordinates of the texel within the image.
 <LI>Lines 168-195: The constraints to the linear system are constructed, specifying the target values and gradients:

 <LI>Lines 172-173: The target value constraints are constructed by applying the mass matrix to the input texel values.
 <LI>Lines 175-190: The target gradient constraints are obtained by computing the target per-edge differences and then computing the divergence:
 <UL>
 <LI>Lines 177-186: The target edge differences are obtained by iterating over the edges, computing the difference between the input texel values at the end-points, and scaling by the gradient modulation value (and zeroing out the difference in the case the end-points are assigned different IDs, in the case of stiching). To this end, the member function <CODE>GradientDomain::numEdges</CODE> gives the number of edges, and the member function <CODE>GradientDomain::edge</CODE> returns the indices of the edge's two end-points.

Assumptions: 
<UL>
The code make a number of assumptions about the input geometry:
<UL>
<LI>The code should support non-injective texture mappings.
<LI>For numerical purposes neither surface nor texture triangles should be degenerate.
<LI>The indexing of surface vertices is such that the topology implied by the vertex indexing matches that of the surface.
<LI>The indexing of texture vertices is such that the topology implied by the vertex indexing matches the toplogy of the texture atlas. (i.e. A single surface vertex can be associated with different texture vertices if the associated corners are in different charts.)

<SUMMARY>
<CODE>HierarchicalGradientDomain</CODE>:
This class derives from <CODE>GradientDomain</CODE> and additionally supports an iterative multigrid solver for computing the solution to the gradient domain problem without requiring a potentially expensive matrix factorization.
</SUMMARY>
The interface is simlar to that of <CODE>GradientDomain</CODE> and the details of the implementation can be found in <CODE>HierarchicalGradientDomain.example.cpp</CODE>. What follows is a list of the minor changes needed in order to access and use the hierarchical solver:
<UL>
<LI>Line 152-167: The interface uses the class <CODE>HierarchicalGradientDomain</CODE>, whose constructor takes an additional parameter describing the number of levels in the multigrid hierarchy. 
Note: Because the class is also responsible for relaxing the gradient-domain system, it is templated off the type of the direct solver used to solve the system at the coarsest resolution (second argument) and the type of data being solved for (third argument). 
[Compare to Lines 143-157 of <CODE>GradientDomainExample.cpp</CODE>]
<LI>Line 170: The <CODE>HierarchicalGradientDomain</CODE> class maintains its own constraint and solution vectors. So rather than allocating the constraint and solution vectors separately, the interface uses pointers to the data maintained in the <CODE>hgd</code> object. 
[Compare to Line 159 of <CODE>GradientDomainExample.cpp</CODE>]
<LI>Lines 208-210: The <CODE>HierarchicalGradientDomain</CODE> class maintains its own representation of the system matrix. This is initialized by specifying the mass and stiffness weights for the system. 
[Compare to Lines 197-199 of <CODE>GradientDomainExample.cpp</CODE>]
<LI>Line 212-214: The solution is relaxed by running the prescribed number of v-cycles with the prescribed number of Gauss-Seidel relaxations per hierarchy level.
