Abstract:
Normal meshes are new fundamental surface descriptions inspired by
differential geometry. A normal mesh is a multiresolution mesh
where each level can be written as a normal offset from a coarser
version. Hence the mesh can be stored with a single float per
vertex. We present an algorithm to approximate any surface
arbitrarily closely with a normal semi-regular mesh. Normal meshes
can be useful in numerous applications such as compression,
filtering, rendering, texturing, and modeling.
