- 01 Jul 1992
TL;DR: A general method for automatic reconstruction of accurate, concise, piecewise smooth surfaces from unorganized 3D points that is able to automatically infer the topological type of the surface, its geometry, and the presence and location of features such as boundaries, creases, and corners.
Decimation of triangle meshes
William J. Schroeder,Jonathan A. Zarge,William E. Lorensen +2 more
- 01 Jul 1992
TL;DR: An application independent algorithm that uses local operations on geometry and topology to reduce the number of triangles in a triangle mesh and results from two different geometric modeling applications illustrate the strengths of the algorithm.
