Parameterization of Quadrilateral Meshes

چکیده
Low-distortion parameterization of 3D meshes is a fundamental problem in computer graphics. Several widely used approaches have been presented for triangular meshes. But no direct parameterization techniques are available for quadrilateral meshes yet. In this paper, we present a parameterization technique for non-closed quadrilateral meshes based on mesh simplification. The parameterization is done through a simplify-project-embed process, and minimizes both the local and global distortion of the quadrilateral meshes. The new algorithm is very suitable for computer graphics applications that require parameterization with low geometric distortion.

A Parameterization Approach for Quadrilateral Mesh
Parameterization of a 3D mesh is a fundamental problem in various applications of meshes. The approaches are widely used for parameterization because of its good properties, but they are almost based on triangle mesh. In this paper, we present a parameterization approach for the quadrilateral open mesh with complex topology. Since mesh simplification and weighted discrete mapping are adapted, t...
متن کاملMotorcycle graph enumeration from quadrilateral meshes for reverse engineering
Recently proposed quad-meshing techniques allow the generation of high-quality semi-regular quadrilateral meshes. This paper outlines the generation of quadrilateral segments using such meshes. Quadrilateral segments are advantageous in reverse engineering because they do not require surface trimming or surface parameterization. The motorcycle graph algorithm of Eppstein et al. produces the mot...
متن کاملA surface mesh smoothing and untangling method independent of the CAD parameterization
Amethod to optimize triangular and quadrilateral meshes on parameterized surfaces is proposed. The optimization procedure relocates the nodes on the surface to improve the quality (smooth) and ensures that the elements are not inverted (untangle). We detail how to express any measure for planar elements in terms of the parametric coordinates of the nodes. The extended measures can be used to ch...

Surface mesh quality plays a very important role in the solution accuracy and in the quality of the ensuing volumetric mesh. Amongst the techniques available, optimization based methods are commonly used for mesh quality improvement. Optimization methods for volumetric and planar surface mesh quality improvement are very well researched. However, this is not true for non-planar meshes. In this ...
متن کاملTwo New Quadrilateral Elements Based on Strain States
In this paper, two new quadrilateral elements are formulated to solve plane problems. Low sensitivity to geometric distortion, no parasitic shear error, rotational invariance, and satisfying the Felippa pure bending test are characteristics of these suggested elements. One proposed element is formulated by establishing equilibrium equations for the second-order strain field. The other suggested...
