# MeshLib

## Description
Mesh Library (MeshLib) - A collection of fundamental surface processing C++ libraries. The library is very lightweight, which can enable the users to handle surface processing easily. This collection is used for implementation of several surface-based applications (see the publication list below).

## Overview - Libraries
* AABB: fast closest triangle access to general mesh
* AABB_Sphere: fast closest triangle access to sphere mesh (this one is at least x2 faster than AABB above)
* Geom: a collection of general processing classes
  * Vector (single and double precision)
  * Euclidean and spherical coordinate system: conversion, projection, SO(3), etc.
  * Functions: associate Legendre polynomial, normal_pdf, normal_cdf, erf.
  * Basic array operations: mean, std, min/max, correlation, etc.
  * 3X3 matrix solver: eig, trace, det.
* Slicer: fast contour extraction given a plane equation
* Spherical Harmonics: real spherical harmonics basis functions
* SurfaceUtil: a collection of surface processing classes
  * Smoothing: NN smoothing
  * Curvature: tensor-based principal curvature approximation
  * Curvature_quad: quadratic fit-based principal curvature approximation
  * Sphere: conformal/area-preserving spherical mapping
* Geodesic: fast marching solver for static Hamilton-Jacobi PDEs/Eikonal equations (ported from Gabriel Peyré's implementation)

## History
* 2009-2011: initial version - base mesh class (Department of Computer Science at KAIST)
* 2011-2016: extended version - surface utilities (Department of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill)
* 2017-2021: maintenance - bug fix, optimization, etc. (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Vanderbilt University)
* 2021-present: maintenance - bug fix, optimization, etc. (Department of Computer Science and Engineering at UNIST)
