Our a pproach augments the continuous elements in the medial axis representation to effectively shift the complexity away from the discrete elements. To t hat end, we introduce generalized enveloping primitives, an enhancement ov er the standard primitives in the medial axis, which ensure efficient cove rage of intricate local features of the input shape and substantially redu ce the number of discrete elements required. Moreover, we present a comput ational framework for constructing a medial skeletal diagram from an arbit rary closed manifold mesh. Our optimization pipeline ensures that the resu lting medial skeletal diagram comprehensively covers the input shape with the fewest primitives. Additionally, each optimized primitive undergoes a post-refinement process to guarantee an accurate match with the source mes h in both geometry and tessellation. We validate our approach on a compreh ensive benchmark of 100 shapes, demonstrating the sparsity of the discrete elements and superior reconstruction accuracy across a variety of cases. Finally, we exemplify the versatility of our representation in downstream applications such as shape generation, mesh decomposition, shape optimizat ion, mesh alignment, mesh compression, and user-interactive design.\n\nReg istration Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage Format: English Language\n\nSession Chair: Yotam Gingold (George Mason University ) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_823&sess=sess124 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
