A Novel Approach for Semi-regular Mesh Based on Planar Proxies

Surface meshes have recently attracted great interest since they are frequently used in many computer graphics applications. These meshes are often generated by isosurfacing representations or also by scanning devices. Unfortunately, such meshes are dense and they contain many redundant vertices and irregular sampling. This make meshes unable to support multiple applications as storage, display, compression or transmission. To solve these problems and reduce the complexity, the mesh quality (connectivity regularity) must be improved. This improvement is called remeshing. On the other hand, many researches techniques have been done to exploit a mesh' local planarity to optimize its geometric representation. This paper presents a novel multiresolution approach of remeshing based on planar proxies.
