Abstract:
Many real-world polygonal surfaces contain topological singularities (edges shared by more than two trian gles, several triangle fans incident to a single vertex) that represent a challenge for processes such as simplification, compression, smoothing, etc. This automated algorithm removes such singularities, thus converting non-manifold sets of polygons to manifold polygonal surfaces (ori entable, if necessary).
