We present a novel method, called\u00a0<\/span>Simplex Assembly<\/span>, to compute<\/span>inversion-free mappings with low or bounded distortion on simpli-<\/span>cial meshes. Our method involves two steps: simplex disassembly<\/span>and simplex assembly. Given a simplicial mesh and its initial piece-<\/span>wise af\ufb01ne mapping, we project the af\ufb01ne transformation associated<\/span>with each simplex into the inversion-free and distortion-bounded<\/span>space.\u00a0The projection disassembles the input mesh into disjoint<\/span>simplices. The disjoint simplices are then assembled to recover the<\/span>original connectivity by minimizing the mapping distortion and the<\/span>difference of the disjoint vertices with respect to the piecewise af\ufb01ne<\/span>transformations, while the piecewise af\ufb01ne mapping is restricted<\/span>inside the feasible space. Due to the use of af\ufb01ne transformations as<\/span>variables, our method explicitly guarantees that no inverted simplex<\/span>occurs, and that the mapping distortion is below the bound during<\/span>the optimization. Compared with existing methods, our method is<\/span>robust to an initialization with many inverted elements and positional<\/span>constraints.\u00a0We demonstrate the ef\ufb01ciency and robustness of our<\/span>method through a variety of geometric processing tasks<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
