Presented by Naitsat Alexander

Desirable meshes

• Closed watertight mesh• Single oriented manifold• No degenerated elements

Type of defects :– Defects in topology– Defects in geometry

Importance of mesh repairing

5

• Slicing for 3D printing • Partition into voxels

– Inside test for voxels

• Generation of tetrahedral meshes– Tetgen library

Volumetric algorithms + More robust

- Produce a new mesh

Surface algorithms+ Less aggressive

- Can’t handle too much defects

1. Orient the seed triangle

2. Propagate orientation to entire mesh

3. Cut through inconsistently orientated triangles

4. If cuts were necessary then terminate

P. Liepa. “Filling holes in meshes” 2003

Filling holes in meshes

• Main stages of the algorithm1. Compute a coarse triangulation to fill a hole

• Based on Barequet et al. 1995

2. Refine and smooth triangulation to match the surrounding density and geometry

25

[3]


Assumptions: • Holes are connected components of the boundary• Holes are simply connected polygons• No islands in holes

26

n verticesn-2 triangles

Self-intersections cannot be

excluded

Quality depends on boundary

Improvements

• Parallel computations• More efficient search for self-intersection

– Adapting voxel size / octree resolution to the mesh

• Repairing topology and geometry in a single loop– There is overlap between the topology and the geometry
