Abstract

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.
