A unified approach for hierarchical adaptive tesselation of surfaces
Luiz Carlos Pacheco Rodrigues Velho, Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo, Jonas Gomes · ACM Transactions on Graphics · 1999
This paper introduces a unified and general tesselation algorithm for parametric and implicit surfaces. The algorithm produces a hierarchial mesh that is adapted to the surface geometry and has a multiresolution and progressive structure. The representation can be exploited with advantages in several applications.
