This paper proposes a method called meshless parameterization, for paramete
rizing and triangulating "single patch" unorganized point sets. The points
are mapped into a planar parameter domain by solving a sparse linear system
. By making a standard triangulation of the parameter points, we obtain a c
orresponding triangulation of the original data set. (C) 2001 Elsevier Scie
