Abstract
The invention concerns the refinement of a triangular mesh representing a three-dimensional object (3D), said mesh consisting of an arrangement of vertices and triangular surfaces, each defined by three references to the vertices which it links, and having three edges each linking two of said vertices. The invention is characterized in that said method comprises a step which consists in selecting at least a region of interest, said mesh refinement being carried out locally on at least one region of interest.
