Polygonization by the Edge Spinning

Abstract

This paper presents a new method for polygonization of implicit surfaces. Our method put emphasis on the shape of triangles of the resulting polygonal mesh. The main advantages of the triangulation presented are simplicity and the stable features that can be used for next expanding. The implementation is not complicated and only the standard data structures are used. This algorithm is based on the surface tracking scheme and it is compared with the other algorithms which are based on the similar principle, such as the Marching cubes and the Marching triangles algorithms.
