Abstract: Example implementations include a method of constructing a dentition structure by a topographic mesh therefor, by generating one or more edges geometrically connecting one or more landmarks, the landmarks being associated with one or more physical features of a physical object, generating a mesh model including the edges and the landmarks, identifying at least one boundary of the mesh model based on one or more of the edges and the landmarks, selecting at least one mesh region associated with at least one corresponding physical feature of the physical object, projecting the selected mesh region onto a predetermined projection plane to form a mesh projection, and constructing the physical features of the physical object based on the mesh projection.

Abstract: Example implementations include a method of mapping and segmenting a physical object by obtaining a plurality of two-dimensional images of a physical object, generating a three-dimensional object model of the physical object based at least partially on one or more of the two-dimensional images, obtaining a plurality of landmarks associated with the object model, one or more of the landmarks being respectively associated with corresponding three-dimensional coordinates and object plane identifiers, and generating at least one landmark plane at the object model including one or more of the landmarks including the object plane identifiers.
