Simple and Robust Boolean Operations for Triangulated Surfaces
Gang Mei, John C. Tipper
Boolean operations of geometric models is an essential issue in computational geometry. In this paper, we develop a simple and robust approach to perform Boolean operations on clos…
3D Geological Modeling and Visualization of Rock Masses Based on Google Earth: A Case Study
Gang Mei, John C. Tipper, Nengxiong Xu
Google Earth (GE) has become a powerful tool for geological modeling and visualization. An interesting and useful feature of GE, Google Street View, can allow the GE users to view…
Discrete Surface Modeling Based on Google Earth: A Case Study
Gang Mei, John C. Tipper, Nengxiong Xu
Google Earth (GE) has become a powerful tool for geological, geophysical and geographical modeling; yet GE can be accepted to acquire elevation data of terrain. In this paper, we p…
A Hybrid Approach for Optimizing Planar Triangular Meshes
Gang Mei, John C. Tipper, Nengxiong Xu
Modified Direct Method (MDM) is an iterative scheme based on Jacobi iterations for smoothing planar meshes [4]. The basic idea behind MDM is to make any triangular element be as cl…
An Algorithm for Finding Convex Hulls of Planar Point Sets
Gang Mei, John C. Tipper, Nengxiong Xu
This paper presents an alternate choice of computing the convex hulls (CHs) for planar point sets. We firstly discard the interior points and then sort the remaining vertices by x-…
Ear-clipping Based Algorithms of Generating High-quality Polygon Triangulation
Gang Mei, John C. Tipper, Nengxiong Xu
A basic and an improved ear clipping based algorithm for triangulating simple polygons and polygons with holes are presented. In the basic version, the ear with smallest interior a…
