...Jingyu Pei; Xiaoping Wang; Leen Zhang; Yu Zhou; Jinyuan Qian Purpose This paper aims to provide a series of new methods for projecting a three-dimensional (3D) object onto a free-form surface. The projection algorithms presented can be divided into three types, namely, orthogonal, perspective...

... surfaces. A new method is developed to generate uniform and high-quality triangular meshes for architectural free-form surfaces. The method can be summarized as a sequence of three steps: pack a moderate number of nodes on the surface; optimize the node placement by bubble dynamics simulation...
