Subquadratic nonobtuse triangulation of convex polygons

A convex polygon with n sides can be triangulated by O(n^1.85) triangles, without any obtuse angles. The construction uses a novel form of geometric divide and conquer

Acute and nonobtuse triangulations of polyhedral surfaces

In this paper, we prove the existence of acute triangulations for general polyhedral surfaces. We also show how to obtain nonobtuse subtriangulations of triangulated polyhedral surfaces.Massachusetts Institute of Technology (UROP Program

Survey of two-dimensional acute triangulations

AbstractWe give a brief introduction to the topic of two-dimensional acute triangulations, mention results on related areas, survey existing achievements–with emphasis on recent activity–and list related open problems, both concrete and conceptual

3D Mesh Simplification. A survey of algorithms and CAD model simplification tests

Simplification of highly detailed CAD models is an important step when CAD models are visualized or by other means utilized in augmented reality applications. Without simplification, CAD models may cause severe processing and storage is- sues especially in mobile devices. In addition, simplified models may have other advantages like better visual clarity or improved reliability when used for visual pose tracking. The geometry of CAD models is invariably presented in form of a 3D mesh. In this paper, we survey mesh simplification algorithms in general and focus especially to algorithms that can be used to simplify CAD models. We test some commonly known algorithms with real world CAD data and characterize some new CAD related simplification algorithms that have not been surveyed in previous mesh simplification reviews.Siirretty Doriast
