Progressive triangulated surfaces in Gocad.

 abstract = { Manipulating, visualizing and transmitting efficiently large triangulated surfaces can be greatly
improved by multi-resolution approaches. In this paper, we describe and compare two methods for
decimating triangulated surfaces and defining several levels of detail on a surface. The first one, a
valence-based mesh compression method, is concerned with maintaining the combinatorial quality
of the mesh as much as possible during simplification. The second approach, known as progressive
meshes, is based on a succession of elementary operations and is more suitable for multi-resolution
surfaces. },
