Half Edge Collapse Mesh Simplification Algorithm Based on Constrained Quadric Error Metric Method (HECMSA-CQEM)for Model Simplification

Abstract

In this thesis, taking Guishan Han tomb 3D Visualization Simulation System as an example, an algorithm named half edge collapse mesh simplification based on constrained quadric error metric method(HECMSA-CQEM)is used to simplify the geometric models. Taking advantages of the progressive mesh, half edges are collapsed under constraining of quadric error metric method. As shown in experiment, the HECMSA-CQEM can improve the 'real time' of the VR system with perfect 'realistic' performance.
