Recently, multi-resolution methods based on non-nested spaces were introduced to allow the visualization and approximation of functions defined on irregular triangulations. This paper comes back to these methods and shows more precisely how the subdivision/prediction/correction scheme of ordinary wavelet-based multi-resolution analysis (MRA) is also present in that framework. As an illustration, it is demonstrated how it can be applied in two of the classical issues of MRA: compression and level-of-detail ...
The construction of a smooth surface from an irregular mesh in space is considered. The mesh vertices can either be interpolated or approximated as a control net. A collection of triangular Bezier patches results from a local, affine invariant and visually smooth interpolation scheme that can represent surfaces of arbitrary topological type. It is based on a domain 4-split. Beside the surface construction scheme, the optimal employment of the numerous ...
