SHRINKWRAP: AN ADAPTIVE ALGORITHM FOR POLYGONIZING AN IMPLICIT SURFACE
van Overveld, C.W.A.M., Brian Wyvill · Libraries and Cultural Resources (University of Calgary) · 1993
An algorithm is presented which generates a triangular mesh to approximate an equi-potential surface. The algorithm is adaptive in the sense that the lengths of the sides of the triangles in the mesh vary with the local curvature of the underlying surface. A quantitative analysis of the accuracy of the algorithm is given along with an empirical comparison with earlier algorithms.
