robust repair of polygonal models
We present a robust method for repairing arbitrary polygon models. The method is guaranteed to produce a closed surface that partitions the space into disjoint internal and external volumes. Given any model represented as a polygon soup, we construct an inside/outside volume using an octree grid, and reconstruct the surface by contouring. Our novel algorithm can efficiently process large models containing millions of polygons and is capable of reproducing sharp features in the original geometry.
