HIERARCHICAL COMPUTATION OF PL HARMONIC EMBEDDINGS

With the advent of laser scanning systems, extremely large colored meshes are becoming commonplace, and with them the need to efficiently store, transmit, render and edit them. One approach, which has the additional feature of supporting texture mapping is to construct multiresolution representations of meshes. This approach was developed by Lounsbery et al. [10, 11], Schröder and Sweldens [13], and Certain et al. [2].
