Practical Spherical Embedding of Manifold Triangle Meshes

We present a method to produce a hierarchy of triangle meshes that can be used to blend different levels of detail in a smooth fashion. The algorithm produces a sequence of meshes ${\cal M}_0, {\cal M}_1, {\cal M}_2, ..., {\cal M}_n,$ where each mesh ${\...

We introduce incremental subdivision as a new adaptive subdivision method for triangle meshes. While regular (global) subdivisions produce a smooth surface from a given polygon mesh by refining all of its faces, adaptive subdivision produces a surface ...

Parameterization of 3D mesh data is important for many graphics and mesh processing applications, in particular for texture mapping, remeshing and morphing. Closed, manifold, genus-0 meshes are topologically equivalent to a sphere, hence this is the ...
