Constructing CVT requires to repeatedly compute Restricted Voronoi Diagram (RVD), defined as the intersection between a 3D Voronoi diagram and an input mesh surface. Existing methods use some approximations of RVD. In this paper, we introduce an efficient algorithm that computes RVD exactly and robustly. As a consequence, we achieve better remeshing quality than approximation-based approaches, without sacrificing efficiency. Our method for RVD computation uses a simple procedure and a kd-tree to quickly identify and compute the intersection of each triangle face with its incident Voronoi cells. Its time complexity is O(mlogn), where n is the number of seed points and m is the number of triangles of the input mesh. Fast convergence of CVT is achieved using a quasi-Newton method, which proved much faster than Lloyd’s iteration. Examples are presented to demonstrate the better quality of remeshing results with our method than with the state-of-art approaches.}, publisher = {ACM}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/isotropic-remeshing-fast-exact-computation-restricted-voronoi-diagram/}, edition = {Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing 2009}, }
