Anisotropic Re-meshing of 3D Models Based on Adaptive Sampling

Nowadays, various kind of smart phones and 3D software are produced, which require large memory space. However, large number of vertices and faces in 3D models not only decrease the speed of sending and receiving of data but also can make problem in systems with low memory space. In this paper, an anisotropic re-meshing of 3D models is proposed. In this algorithm, the Nyquist theorem is employed for sampling from each selected segment of the mesh, locally. Then, the re-triangulation algorithm is applied to the selecte samples to construct the simplified mesh. In order to construct a high quality mesh from the remeshed model, a non linear subdivision is employed. The achieved results show that the algorithm can reduce the number of vertices and faces beside preserving details of model. The proposed method is also compared to the state-of-the-art algorithms are used in simplification studies, the outcomes illustrate the ability of the proposed method in producing high quality models.
