Hello all,
I started working in 3D mesh parameterization (mapping a triangle mesh from 3D space to 2D space ). In this study, what i know is that we have 3 criteria to measure the parameterization distortion: 1) isometric (length preserving), 2) comformal (angle preserving), 3) equiareal ( area preserving).
Suppose that we have a function mapping F from 2D to 3D. The distortion using above criteria is calculated using derivatives of F in each triangle ( singular values of matrix Jacobian of F ).
Because the area of a triangle can be calculated using its base and height. So, to measure distortion of each triangle, i will only compare the height and the base of this triangle in 3D and 2D. What is wrong if i measure the parameterization distortion by this simple way rather than above complex methods?
Thank you so much for all explanation!
