Abstract

Polygonal meshes are used in many areas to model different objects and structures. Depending on their applications, they sometimes have to be processed to, for instance, reduce their complexity (simplification). This mesh processing introduces error, whose evaluation is important when choosing the kind of processing that is to be done for a particular application. Although some mesh comparison tools are described in the literature, little attention has been given to the way results are presented. A tool is presented which enhances the way users perform mesh analysis and comparison, by providing an environment where several visualization options are available and can be used in a coordinated way.
