vcgSmooth: 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).

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.

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")
