Representation of a digitized surface by triangular faces

This paper proposes a triangulation method for a digitized surface whose points are located on a regular lattice. The method relies on an iterative and adaptive splitting of triangular faces of an initial polyhedral surface. Assuming a bijection between the digitized surface and its approximation, a partition of the data base is performed. The method allows the measurement of the local quality ...
