Abstract

This paper proposes a mesh simplification method by finding the optimal positions of vertices. It generates a Bézier patch around the collapsed edge and finds the optimal position based on visual importance and curvature. It successfully maintains the geometry and topology of the model even when the size of the model is reduced to less than 5 % of the original model. Our method uses QEM for the error measure. It can be applied to usual mesh simplification but also to mesh parameterization and remeshing.
