Local
parameterization
PIPELINE
üDecompose the
input surface into disk-like patches;
üparameterize each
patch.
PRO
üSimple
implementation;
üno assumptions on
the surface genus or point density;
üwell-studied.
CONS
üPatch symmetry can
be missed;
üpatches do not
reflect the curvature distribution;
üremesh requires to
control smoothness along boundaries;
üextraordinary
vertices of the remeshed dataset are scattered on the
whole surface.
