A survey on feature remeshing of 3D triangular boundary meshes

Remeshing is an important technique used for the improvement of the quality of 3D models. The original features of a particular mesh may distort or change while using certain remeshing techniques. This may impact further processing on the mesh as remeshing is considered as a pre-processing phase for most of the mesh processing operation. So to preserve the geometrical features or the actual unique information of the 3D model, certain feature sensitive remeshing techniques are proposed in the last few decades. This survey tries to cover some recent works on feature remeshing for boundary meshes. A classification of various methods based on the remeshing application is also presented.
