Metrics and visualization tools for surface mesh comparison
Laixin Zhou, Alex Pang · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2001
This paper describes a system for comparing surface meshes using different distance metrics and mapping the results to different visual presentations. Hierarchical and multi- resolution (HMR) methods produce meshes with different levels of details. Different HMR methods produce meshes with varying quality. The surface mesh comparison system presented here allows the user to qualitatively compare and investigate the merits of the meshes produced by different HMR algorithms as well as how different resolution meshes degrade as they are simplified.
