  • Apparatus and method for dynamic triangle stripping
    Patent number: 6515660
    Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for creating a neighbor mesh from a multi-resolution mesh (MRM) representation of a triangulated model. The apparatus and method include computing neighbor data for the neighbor mesh at the highest resolution of the MRM, and creating the neighbor mesh using the computed neighbor data. The apparatus and method further include changing the resolution of the MRM and re-computing the neighbor data at the changed resolution of the MRM, and computing an updated neighbor mesh from the re-computed neighbor data.
