Surface Mesh Quality Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a method to evaluate the size quality as well as the shape quality of constrained surface meshes, the constraint being either a given metric or the geometric metric associated with the surface geometry. In the context of numerical simulations, the metric speci cations are those related to the nite element method. The proposed measures allow to validate the surface meshes within a general mesh adaption scheme, the metric map being usually provided via an a posteriori error estimate. Several examples of surface meshes are proposed to illustrate the relevance of the approach. Copyright ? 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

An Evaluation of Tetrahedral Mesh Generation for Non-Rigid Registration of Brain MRI
In this paper, we assess the impact of mesh generation on Non-Rigid Registration of brain MR images. The solution accuracy and the speed of finite element solvers depend on how well the underlying mesh approximates the surface of the biological object (fidelity) and how well the elements of this mesh are shaped (quality). Fidelity and quality, however, are two contradicting requirements, as inc...
متن کاملExplicit Method to Optimize Surface Mesh Quality
In this paper, we introduce a novel technique to improve surface mesh quality while maintaining all essential surface characteristics. In contrast to previous methods we do not constrain node movement to the underlying discrete surface. Instead our approach allows keeping resultant mesh very close to the surface approximated by the original mesh. Proposed method is explicit, that is we do not n...
متن کاملOptimization of Surface Mesh Quality Using Local Parametrization
Improvement of the quality of surface meshes is important for mesh generation and numerical simulation. The challenge with surface mesh improvement is to improve element quality while preserving the surface characteristics as much as possible. A procedure is presented here to optimize the quality of elements in surface meshes by node repositioning while keeping the nodes on the original mesh fa...
متن کاملTriangular and Quadrilateral Surface Mesh Quality Optimization Using Local Parametrization (LA-UR-02-7190)
A procedure is presented to improve the quality of surface meshes while maintaining the essential characteristics of the discrete surface. The surface characteristics are preserved by repositioning mesh vertices in a series of element-based local parametric spaces such that the vertices remain on the original discrete surface. The movement of the mesh vertices is driven by a non-linear numerica...
متن کاملTopological Adaptivity For Mesh Quality Improvement
In this paper, we present an algorithm for generating extruded, topologicallyadaptive near-body volume meshes. The algorithm is based on an advancing layer scheme. For each layer, a reference mesh is built along the direction of local surface normal. Then a Poisson equation is used to smooth the mesh locally. Topologically-adaptive operations like edge collapse and face split are used to improv...
