In this paper is considered the segmentation of meshes into rigid components given
temporal sequences of deforming meshes. We propose a fully automatic approach that
identifies model parts that consistently move rigidly over time. This approach can handle
meshes independently reconstructed at each time instant. It allows therefore for sequences
of meshes with varying connectivities as well as varying topology. It incrementally adapts,
merges and splits segments along a sequence based on the coherence of motion …
