摘要：In a 3D graphics computer system, a method and system for efficientsimplification of tetrahedral meshes used in 3D volumetric representations. The 3D
computer system implements a method for manipulating a volumetric model of a 3Dobject to simplify the volumetric model by reducing the number of primitives within thevolumetric model. To implement the method, the computer system accesses avolumetric model of a 3D object. The 3D object is modeled using a large number ofvolumetric primitives. After accessing, the volumetric model is analyzed to identify aplurality of sets of adjacent primitives within the model for processing. For each set ofidentified adjacent primitives, the set of primitives is transformed within the volumetricmodel to facilitate the simplification of the model. The resulting transformed set ofprimitives are then stored. This process is carried through to completion, until the entirevolumetric model has been processed. The resulting transformed volumetric model isthen output for further processing or manipulation.
