Abstract

This invention discloses a method for simplifying geometrical data in higher dimensions and in particular reducing three-dimensional (3D) mesh (801) from an original 3D mesh (800). The simplification method comprises a series of reduction steps combined with operations that map the original data onto the reduced data in subsequent steps. The mapping allows calculation of absolute geometrical metrics, including distance and volume, for bounded simplification.
