Hello,
I read on the mailing list that 'Automatic polygonal mesh healing' is a
viable project. I got interested and familiarized myself with the
techniques.
My knowledge right now is that there may be gaps, overlaps, T-joints and
slivers in the geometry objects and we process them one by one.
1. After triangulating the mesh (using the paving algorithm) we first
identify gaps and overlaps and solve them using the nodal merging
algorithm.
2. Then we identify and solve T-joints using nodal insertion and element
splitting algorithm.
3. Larger gaps and holes are solved using a triangulation technique based
on the advancing front algorithm.
4. Sliver mesh patches and skewed elements are solved by merging nodes and
by edge swapping (based on the overall shape factor).
The inputs from the user would be the edge length (for the paving
algorithm), and the merging tolerance (while checking if two edges are
close by).
Is my approach right in this?
Also, could i be directed towards the existing code for polygonal mesh
healing?
