Filling the holes of non-manifold self-intersecting meshes for implicit topology changes in surface tracking ISTA Master's Thesis Etemadihaghighi, Arian surface tracking non-manifold hole-filling topology change multi-material solid-modeling ddc:000 Physics simulation in computer graphics can bring triangle meshes into topologically invalid states. The method in this thesis contributed to Heiss-Synak* and Kalinov* et al. [2024] who devised a non-manifold hybrid surface tracker—a surface tracker that repairs explicit non-manifold triangle meshes with the help of the implicit domain. Specifically, this thesis provides an algorithm for filling the holes that are left after removing problematic parts of the mesh.
