Abstract :
This paper introduces a new method of surface simplification based on calculating changing rate of surface. We apply the adapted Butterfly subdivision method to determine the new vertex positions of simplified mesh, making the new vertices lie on an optimized limiting surface. We test our method on the rabbit mesh, and it is very effective to hold geometric features.
