Laplacian smoothing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Laplacian smoothing is an algorithm to smooth a polygonal mesh.[1][2] For each vertex in a mesh, a new position is chosen based on local information (such as the position of neighbours) and the vertex is moved there. In the case that a mesh is topologically a rectangular grid (that is, each internal vertex is connected to four neighbours) then this operation produces the Laplacian of the mesh.

More formally, the smoothing operation may be described per-vertex as:

Where is the number of adjacent vertices to node , is the position of the -th adjacent vertex and is the new position for node .[3]
