In the last decade, a great deal of work has been devoted to the elaboration of a sampling theory for smooth surfaces. The goal was to ensure a good reconstruction of a given surf...
To reduce the cost of correcting design errors, assemblies of mechanical parts are modeled using CAD systems and verified electronically before the designs are sent to manufacturi...
We present an algorithm for meshing surfaces that is a simple adaptation of a greedy “farthest point” technique proposed by Chew. Given a surface S, it progressively adds poin...
