Abstract

An approach of wavefront algorithm for automatic triangulation was presented. The first wavefront was constructed from an arbitrary point along with its adjacent points, then the appropriate third point was chosen to form a well-shaped triangle. By repetitively updating wavefront and searching new matching point, the new triangles were generated sequentially until the triangulation process was finished. The results of triangulation were stored by winged-edge structure for model reconstruction.
