Abstract
In this paper a technique for the construction of smooth surface patches fitted on triangle meshes is presented. Such a surface patch may replace a well defined region of the mesh, and can be used e.g. in retriangulation, mesh-simplification and rendering.
The input data are estimated curvature values and principal directions computed from a circular neighborhood of a specified triangle face of the mesh.
Keywords
triangle mesh; principal curvatures; local surface approximation
