Mesh Coarsening • Large meshes are commonly used in numerous application area • Modern range scanning devices are used • High resolution mesh model need more time and more space to handle • Large meshes need simplification to improve speed and reduce memory storage
Mesh Coarsening • Size, quality and speed • Mesh optimization • Many simplification methods now

QEM • Quadric Error Metric method • Using Pair Contraction to simplify the mesh • Minimize Quadric function when contracting • Define Quadric
Quadric • Define Quadric of each vertex
Pair Selection • Condition • is an edge or • , where t is a threshold • When performing , • Choose position of minimizing • If A is not invertible, choose among two endpoints and midpoint of two endpoints
Algorithm Summary • Compute the Q matrices for all the initial vertices. • Select all valid pairs. • Compute the optimal contraction target for each valid pair • Place all the pairs in a heap keyed on cost with the minimumcost pair at the top. • Iteratively remove the pair of least cost from the heap, contract this pair, and update the costs of all valid pairs involving v1.
Advantage • Efficiency, local, extremely fast • Quality, maintain high fidelity to the original mesh • Generality, can join unconnected regions of original mesh together
Result Original model An approximation with 69451 triangles with 1000 triangles

Edge smoothing • let N be the average of all Ci
Data Structure of mesh model • A type of data structure to present mesh model for reference
Remeshing • Surazhsky V, Gotsman C. Explicit surface remeshing[C]. Aachen, Germany: Eurographics Association, 2003 • Improve mesh quality by a series of local modification of the mesh geometry and connectivity
Vertex Relocation • with neighbors • Find new location of to satisfy some constraints, e.g. improving the angles of the triangles incident on
Vertex Relocation • Map these vertices into a plane, is mapped to the origin, satisfy • The angles of all triangles at are proportional to the corresponding angles and sum to
Vertex Relocation • Let new position of be the average of to improve the angles of the adjacent faces • Bring new position of back to the original surface by maintain same barycentric coordinate
Detail • (c) is original mesh, (b) is new mesh, (d) is 2D mesh which defines a parameterization of (c) • Use the same barycentric coordinates in (a) and (d)
Area-based Remeshing • Area equalization is done iteratively by relocating every vertex such that the areas of the triangles incident on the vertex are as equal as possible • Extending method above to relocating vertices such that the ratios between the areas are as close as possible to some specified values
Area-based Remeshing • Here is the area of triangle , is the area of polygon
Curvature sensitive remeshing • More curved region contain small triangles and a dense vertex sampling, while almost flat regions have large triangles • Define density function as here K and H are approximated discrete Gaussian and mean curvatures Meyer M, Desbrun M, Schroder P, et al.

Voronoi Diagram • Given an open set of Rm, and n different points zi; i=0,...,n-1, the Voronoi Diagram can be defined as n different regions Visuch that: where d is a function of distance.
Centroidal Voronoi Diagram • A Centroidal Voronoi Diagram is a Voronoi Diagram where each Voronoi site zi is also the mass centroid of its Voronoi Region: here is a density function of
Centroidal Voronoi Diagram • Centroidal Voronoi Diagrams minimize the Energy given as: • On mesh, Energy above becomes to
