Summary
This paper deals with the volume preserving smoothing of triangular isotropic meshes
over three-dimensional open surfaces. The adopted approach is based on Laplacian
smoothing combining in an alternating manner positive and negative weights in consecutive
cycles of the smoothing. Since the aim is to improve the shape of individual
elements of the mesh rather than to get rid of noise, the weights are derived in a very
simple way using a "do-not-harm" concept. The paper also extends the application of
the smoothing from closed surfaces to open surfaces and their combination. The performance
and capabilities of the presented methodology are demonstrated on several
examples.
