Relevant URL: Mesh parameterization refers to the creation of a piecewise linear
mapping from a triangular surface mesh in 3D to a more suitable
domain. Mesh parameterization is an important tool with various
applications in geometry processing, computer graphics, CAD,
compression, modeling, biomedical image processing. As an
introduction, we will review concepts and methods for mapping disk
homeomorphic meshes into a planar domain. Then we will consider the
most general case: the mapping of a mesh without any restriction on
its topology to a planar domain and discuss the case of sphere
homeomorphic meshes and their mapping to the sphere. We will end the
talk with examples such as remeshing and mesh-to-mesh registration.
