Syntax

[F,V,Eb]=coarsepatch(F,V,f);

Description

This function can reduce the density of patch data defined by faces F and vertices V. The input f either defines a scaling factor between 0-1 or a desired number of faces. This function uses MATLAB's [F,V] = reducepatch(F,V,f,'fast');. However it also proceeds to clean up the mesh to avoid several reducepatch issues (collapsed triangles etc). The 3rd optional output consists of the boundary edges Eb. If the input does not have boundary edges then the coarsening operation introduced holes.

Examples

Specifying a scaling factor

[F1,V1]=graphicsModels(9);

f=1/3; %Scaling factor (if <=1) or new number of faces

[F2,V2]=coarsepatch(F1,V1,f);

cFigure;
subplot(1,2,1);
title(['Original: ',num2str(size(V1,1)),' vertices, ',num2str(size(F1,1)),' faces']);
gpatch(F1,V1,'w','k');
axisGeom;
camlight headlight;
view(0,0);
axis off;

subplot(1,2,2);
title(['Resampled: ',num2str(size(V2,1)),' vertices, ',num2str(size(F2,1)),' faces']);
gpatch(F2,V2,'w','k');
axisGeom;
camlight headlight;
view(0,0);
axis off;

drawnow;

Specifying desired number of faces

[F1,V1]=graphicsModels(9);

f=1500; %Scaling factor (if <=1) or new number of faces

[F2,V2]=coarsepatch(F1,V1,f);

cFigure;
subplot(1,2,1);
title(['Original: ',num2str(size(V1,1)),' vertices, ',num2str(size(F1,1)),' faces']);
gpatch(F1,V1,'w','k');
axisGeom;
camlight headlight;
view(0,0);
axis off;

subplot(1,2,2);
title(['Resampled: ',num2str(size(V2,1)),' vertices, ',num2str(size(F2,1)),' faces']);
gpatch(F2,V2,'w','k');
axisGeom;
camlight headlight;
view(0,0);
axis off;

drawnow;
