R Documentation

Performs Quadric Edge Decimation on triangular meshes.

Description

Decimates a mesh by adapting the faces of a mesh either to a target face number, a percentage or an approximate mesh resolution (a.k.a. mean edge length

Usage

vcgQEdecim(
  mesh,
  tarface = NULL,
  percent = NULL,
  edgeLength = NULL,
  topo = FALSE,
  quality = TRUE,
  bound = FALSE,
  optiplace = FALSE,
  scaleindi = TRUE,
  normcheck = FALSE,
  qweightFactor = 100,
  qthresh = 0.3,
  boundweight = 1,
  normalthr = pi/2,
  silent = FALSE
)

Arguments

`mesh`	Triangular mesh of class "mesh3d"
`tarface`	Integer: set number of target faces.
`percent`	Numeric: between 0 and 1. Set amount of reduction relative to existing face number. Overrides tarface argument.
`edgeLength`	Numeric: tries to decimate according to a target mean edge length. Under the assumption of regular triangles, the edges are half as long by dividing the triangle into 4 regular smaller triangles.
`topo`	logical: if TRUE, mesh topology is preserved.
`quality`	logical: if TRUE, vertex quality is considered.
`bound`	logical: if TRUE, mesh boundary is preserved.
`optiplace`	logical: if TRUE, mesh boundary is preserved (may lead to unwanted distortions in some cases).
`scaleindi`	logical: if TRUE, decimatiion is scale independent.
`normcheck`	logical: if TRUE, normal directions are considered.
`qweightFactor`	numeric: >= 1. Quality range is mapped into a squared 01 and than into the 1 - QualityWeightFactor range.
`qthresh`	numeric: Quality threshold for decimation process.
`boundweight`	numeric: Weight assigned to mesh boundaries.
`normalthr`	numeric: threshold for normal check in radians.
`silent`	logical, if TRUE no console output is issued.

Details

This is basically an adaption of the cli tridecimator from vcglib

Value

Returns a reduced mesh of class mesh3d.

Examples



data(humface)
##reduce faces to 50% 
decimface <- vcgQEdecim(humface, percent=0.5)
## view
## Not run: 
require(rgl)
shade3d(decimface, col=3)

## some light smoothing
decimface <- vcgSmooth(decimface,iteration = 1)

## End(Not run)
