3D Mesh Simplification. A survey of algorithms and CAD model simplification tests
Simpliļ¬cation of highly detailed CAD models is an important step when CAD
models are visualized or by other means utilized in augmented reality applications.
Without simpliļ¬cation, CAD models may cause severe processing and storage is-
sues especially in mobile devices. In addition, simpliļ¬ed 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 simpliļ¬cation 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 simpliļ¬cation algorithms that have not been surveyed in previous mesh
simpliļ¬cation reviews.Siirretty Doriast
