Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMesh Simplification by Curvature-Enhanced Quadratic Error MetricsPaolo Pellizzoni, Gianpaolo SavioPolygonal meshes have a significant role in computer graphics, design and manufacturing technology for surface representation and it is often required to reduce their complexity to save memory. An efficient algorithm for detail retaining mesh simplification is proposed; in particular, the method presented is an iterative edge contraction algorithm based on the work of Garland and Heckberts. The original algorithm … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 8 · 7 Sep 2020 · 8,407 accessesView PDFCite
