Intersection Free Simplification
Abstract
Triangle mesh decimation and multi-resolution techniques are widely used in visualization applications for huge scenes. A large collection of different simplification algorithms exists in order to build a multi-resolution model from a given triangle mesh. None of the known techniques tries to avoid self-intersections during the simplification process. In this work we show that in real-world situations self-intersections lead to unacceptable results. We show how to avoid self-intersections in the case of vertex collapse simplification. This is done by parametrizing the contraction operations over time and by detecting collisions of affected simplices. For the case of a collision we examined different strategies to determine new target positions that avoid the collision. Experimental results show that our approach produces high quality simplified meshes without causing any new self-intersections.
