Abstract
Various techniques associated with automatic mesh generation are disclosed. One or more center curves of an outline of an object or figure are first determined. Next, for each of a plurality of points of each of the one or more center curves, a pair of rays is cast from a center curve in opposite directions, wherein the rays collide with opposite sides of the outline, and a collision pair is generated that comprises a line connecting collision points of the pair of rays on opposite sides of the outline. A mesh model of the object or figure is generated by mapping each of a set of collision pairs to polygons used to define the mesh model.
