The parametrization of the surface plays an important role in the 3D computer graphics and computer vision. Especially, it is essential in 3D mesh editing that manipulates the position of 3D objects on a computer monitor. Because computer monitors are two-dimensional, while vertices of objects that actually want to change are in a three-dimensional virtual space. In this study, we propose a new type of parametrization method that takes advantage of the special properties of circles that are common to local parameterization. Experimental results show that our parameterization method is more efficient in terms of time and space than the standard parameterization method that was designed by Floater et al.

Among the desirable properties of a piecewise linear parameterization, guaranteeing a one-to-one mapping (i.e., no triangle flips in the parameter plane) is often sought. A one-to-one mapping is accomplished by non-negative coefficients in the affine transformation. In the Floater's method, the coefficients were computed after the 3D mesh was flattened by geodesic polar-mapping. But using this geodesic polar map introduces unnecessary local distortion. In this paper, a simple variant of the original shape-preserving mapping technique by Floater is introduced. A new simple method for calculating barycentric coordinates by using straightest geodesics is proposed. With this method, the non-negative coefficients are computed directly on the mesh, reducing the shape distortion introduced by the previously-used polar mapping. The parameterization is then found by solving a sparse linear system, and it provides a simple and visually-smooth piecewise linear mapping, without foldovers.

This paper presents a more stable method of multiresolution editing for a triangular mesh. The basic idea of our paper is to embed an editing area of a mesh onto a 2D region and to produce 3D surfaces which interpolate the editing-information. In this paper, we adopt the extended convex combination approach based on the shape-preserving parameterization for the embedding, which guarantees no self-intersection on the 2D embedded mesh. That is, the result of the embedding is stable. Moreover, we adopt the multi-level B-spline approach to generate the surface containing all of 3D editing-information, which can make us control the editing area in several levels. Hence, this method supports interactive editing and thus can produce intuitive editing results.
