Multiresolution morse triangulations

Abstract

We address the problem of representing the geometry and the morphology of a triangulated surface endowed with a scalar field in a combined geometric and topological multiresolution model. The model, called a Multiresolution Morse Triangulation (MMT), is composed of a multiresolution triangle mesh, and of a multiresolution Morse complex describing the morphology of the field. The MMT is built through a combined morphological and geometrical generalization, and supports queries to extract consistent geometrical and morphological representations of the field at both uniform and variable resolutions.
