Mesh Reduction with error control Scott Buffa Jeranfer Bermudez Alex Peer CSE 872 Implementation of (Klein, 2001)
Goals • Mesh simplification • Hausdorff distance • Constrained 3D Delaunay triangulation
Other solutions • Coplanar facets merging [HH92, MSS94] • Mesh decimation: [SZL92] • Mesh optimization: [HDD93] • Point coalescence: [RB93] • Re-tiling: [Tur92] • Multiresolution retiling: [EDD 95] • Drawback is no common way to measure the error between original and simplified meshes.
Hausdorff distance • Measures how far two subsets of space are from each other • To get the maximum of the minimum distances between two sets
Delaunay Triangulation • A triangulation such that no point is inside a circumcircle of any triangle. • Maximizes the minimum angle of all angles of triangles • Invented by Boris Delaunay, 1934
Delaunay Triangulation cont. • Given three points: • Radius: • Circumsphere center : • Where:
Delaunay Triangulation cont. • Example: • Points: • Radius r = 3.605 • Center PC: • = .5 • = 0 • = .5 y P1 Pc P2 P3 x
The Algorithm • Overview • Remove vertices and re-triangulate the resulting holes • Stops when no vertices can be removed without exceeding the Hausdorff distance.
The Algorithm cont. • Iterative approach • Determining the vertex to remove • Hausdorff distance • Distance function • triangulation • Remove vertex • If we remove a vertex v from the triangulation, its adjacent triangles are removed and the remaining hole is re-triangulated.
The Algorithm cont. • Hausdorff Distance • For every vertex, simulate removal • Rank the vertices by the error that would be introduced (hausdorff) • Remove vertex that is at top of list • Update error for vertices • Repeat removal and update until none can be removed without exceeding maximum error tolerance
The Algorithm cont. • Delaunay Triangulation • Find how vertex relates to triangle • If new vertex lies within triangle, split triangle. Otherwise, connect to nearest points • Use spheres to generate new faces
What didn’t go well • Constrained 3D Delaunay Triangulation for face generation • Why did’t go well? • No examples. • Poor documentation in 3D • Needed ordered vertex list • Overlapping faces • Resorted to simple fan algorithm • Generating list of vertices with proper winding order
Results • Simplified Mesh • Original Mesh
