Mesh Parameterization for an Open Connected Surface without Partition

Abstract : A novel mesh parametrization method for an open connected surface is presented. The parametrization method is based on Hessian-based Locally Linear Embedding(HLLE). Our method operates directly on the surface without using any partition technique and can preserve the local and global structure, while partition-based methods often produce high distortion and discontinuity nearby partition boundaries. In addition, some examples about texture mapping show the efficiency of our method.
