Title :
Mesh simplification using four-face clusters
Abstract :
In this paper we introduce a new algorithm for simplification of polygonal meshes. It generates a variable resolution structure called hierarchical 4-K mesh. This structure is a powerful representation for non-uniform level of detail that among other things, allows simple and efficient extraction of conforming meshes
