Abstract
A mesh refinement and a mesh simplification algorithm are presented. Both algorithms guarantee a user-defined error tolerance and deliver a multiresolution model. After the computation of the multiresolution model triangulation of the surface patches at variable resolutions can be incrementally generated on-the-fly at rendering time. The resulting triangulations form hierarchical Delaunay triangulations in parameter space.
