To assure a maximal utilization of the multiresolution techniques on the remesh, we map the original mesh onto the unit sphere and construct a base mesh with only four vertices. We also introduce a self-adaptive relocation operation, which is used to adapt the vertex distribution of the spherical subdivision mesh to that of the parameterized mesh, to improve the visual appearance of the remesh. The experimental results show that our method can not only make the number of irregular vertices in the remesh as small as possible, but also preserve the details of the original mesh well.展开更多

Improving the elements' quality is a challenging task in surface remeshing. Existing methods often fail to efficiently remove poor-quality elements especially in regions with sharp features. In this paper, we propose and use a robust segmentation method followed by remeshing the segmented mesh. Mesh segmentation is initiated using an existing Live-wire interaction approach and is further refined using local mesh operations. The refined segmented mesh is finally sent to the remeshing pipeline, in which each mesh segment is remeshed independently. An experimental study compares our mesh segmentation method as well as remeshing results with representative existing methods. We demonstrate that the proposed segmentation method is robust and suitable for remeshing.展开更多
