vcgSmooth: Smoothes a triangular mesh

In Rvcg: Manipulations of Triangular Meshes Based on the 'VCGLIB' API

Smoothes a triangular mesh

Description

Applies different smoothing algorithms on a triangular mesh.

Usage

vcgSmooth(
  mesh,
  type = c("taubin", "laplace", "HClaplace", "fujiLaplace", "angWeight",
    "surfPreserveLaplace"),
  iteration = 10,
  lambda = 0.5,
  mu = -0.53,
  delta = 0.1
)

Arguments

mesh	triangular mesh stored as object of class "mesh3d".
type	character: select smoothing algorithm. Available are "taubin", "laplace", "HClaplace", "fujiLaplace", "angWeight" (and any sensible abbreviations).
iteration	integer: number of iterations to run.
lambda	numeric: parameter for Taubin smooth (see reference below).
mu	numeric:parameter for Taubin smooth (see reference below).
delta	numeric: parameter for Scale dependent laplacian smoothing (see reference below).and maximum allowed angle (in radians) for deviation between normals Laplacian (surface preserving).

Details

The algorithms available are Taubin smoothing, Laplacian smoothing and an improved version of Laplacian smoothing ("HClaplace"). Also available are Scale dependent laplacian smoothing ("fujiLaplace") and Laplacian angle weighted smoothing ("angWeight")

Value

returns an object of class "mesh3d" with:

vb	4xn matrix containing n vertices as homolougous coordinates.
normals	4xn matrix containing vertex normals.
quality	vector: containing distances to target.
it	4xm matrix containing vertex indices forming triangular faces.

Note

The additional parameters for taubin smooth are hardcoded to the default values of meshlab, as they appear to be the least distorting
