thesis published Arian Etemadihaghighi author 36cea3aa-f38e-11ec-8ae0-c65ae6f6098f Christopher J Wojtan supervisor GradSch department ChWo department 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. https://research-explorer.ista.ac.at/download/18301/18469/thesis-arian-etemadi.pdf application/pdfno https://research-explorer.ista.ac.at/download/18301/18470/thesis-arian-etemadi-latex-source.zip application/x-zip-compressed https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ Institute of Science and Technology Austria2024 eng surface trackingnon-manifoldhole-fillingtopology changemulti-materialsolid-modeling 2791-458510.15479/at:ista:18301 39 https://research-explorer.ista.ac.at/record/17219 Etemadi, Arian. “Filling the Holes of Non-Manifold Self-Intersecting Meshes for Implicit Topology Changes in Surface Tracking.” Institute of Science and Technology Austria, 2024. <a href="https://doi.org/10.15479/at:ista:18301">https://doi.org/10.15479/at:ista:18301</a>.
