Abstract

A novel 3D mesh model simplification algorithm that makes use of vertex cluster contraction is proposed. The proposed algorithm computes a distortion metrics that satisfy the volume preservation and shape preservation criterion. The simplification results are shown to have better visual quality than other algorithms in literature. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm can generate progressive mesh models.
