Polygonization of implicit surfaces with sharp features by edge-spinning
This paper presents an adaptive approach for polygonization of implicit surfaces. The algorithm generates a well-shaped triangular mesh with respect to a given approximation error. The error is proportional to a local surface curvature estimation. Polygonization of surfaces of high curvature, as well as surfaces with sharp features, is possible using a simple technique combined with a particle system approach. The algorithm is based on a surface tracking scheme, and it is compared with other algorithms based on a similar principle, such as the marching cube and the marching triangle algorithms.
