Abstract

We propose a method to approximate a polyhedral object with a deformable smooth surface, namely the t-skin defined by Edelsbrunner for all 00. This construction makes it possible for fully automatic, smooth and robust deformation between two polyhedral objects with different topologies. En route to our results, we also give an approximation of a polyhedral object with a union of balls.
