The Harmonic GBC Function Map is a Bijection if the Target Domain is Convex

摘要
Harmonic generalized barycentric coordinates (GBC) functions have been used for cartoon animation since an early work in 2006\cite{JMDGS06}. A computational procedure was further developed in \cite{SH15} for deformation between any two polygons. The bijectivity of the map based on harmonic GBC functions is still murky in the literature. In this paper, we present an elementary proof of the bijection of the harmonic GBC map transforming from one arbitrary polygonal domain $V$ to a convex polygonal domain $W$. This result is further extended to a more general harmonic map from one simply connected domain $V$ to a convex domain $W$ if the harmonic map preserves the orientation of the boundary of the domain $V$. In addition, we shall point out that the harmonic GBC map is also a diffeomorphism over the interior of $V$ to the interior of $W$. Finally, we remark on how to construct a harmonic GBC map from $V$ to $W$ when the number of vertices of $V$ is different from the number of vertices of $W$ and how to construct harmonic GBC functions over a polygonal domain with a hole or holes. We also point out that it is possible to use the harmonic GBC map to deform a nonconvex polygon $V$ to another nonconvex polygon $W$ by a good arrangement of the boundary map between $\partial V$ and $\partial W$. Several numerical deformations based on images are presented to show the effectiveness of the map based on bivariate spline approximation of the harmonic GBC functions.
