Claim 18:
19. A system comprising:
at least one computing device implementing an occluding contours generation system, the at least one computing device including a processor and a memory including instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the occluding contours generation system to:
project a boundary polygon associated with a first region of a three-dimensional (3D) object to a two-dimensional (2D) image plane, the boundary polygon comprising a plurality of contour vertices and edges connecting the plurality of contour vertices;
triangulate the first region in the 2D image plane to generate a 2D triangulation; and
generate a 3D mesh for the first region by mapping the 2D triangulation to the 3D object by connecting at least one pair of contour vertices with a path on a surface of the 3D object which corresponds to a straight line connection in the 2D image plane, and refining the 2D triangulation based on sample points collected along the path on the surface of the 3D object.
