A Finite Volume Variational Approach for 3D Mesh Smoothing

Abstract

In this paper, we present an applying of a finite volume variational approach to the mesh smoothing using local weights. This approach is able to effectively remove undesirable noise and provides a very good performance. While conserving outstanding geometric features of a 3D mesh surface such as curved shape surface regions, sharp edges, and fine details. Extensive experimental results on various 3D models demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed iterative algorithm, which shows a satisfactory output results in only one single iteration.
