Analytic example:Analytic example:

Mesh ParameterizationMesh Parameterization

• Uniquely defined by mapping mesh Uniquely defined by mapping mesh vertices to the parameter domain:vertices to the parameter domain:

UU : {v : {v11, …, v, …, vnn}} D D R R22

UU(v(vii) = () = (uuii, v, vii))

• No two edges cross in the plane (in No two edges cross in the plane (in DD))

ProblemsProblems: :

1) Parameterization of complex surfaces 1) Parameterization of complex surfaces introduces introduces distortion. distortion.

2) Only topological disk can be embedded.2) Only topological disk can be embedded.

SolutionSolution: : partitionpartition and/or and/or cutcut the mesh into the mesh into several patches, parameterize each patch several patches, parameterize each patch independently.independently.
