Abstract

The research on computer graphics(CG) has been actively studied and developed. Namely, many surface/solid models have been proposed in the field of computer aided geometric design as well as the one of CG. Since it is difficult to visualize the complex shape exactly, an approximation by generating a set of meshes is usually used. Therefore it is important to guarantee the quality of the approximation in consideration of the computational cost. In this paper, a mesh generation algorithm will be proposed for a surface defined by Lie algebra. The proposed algorithm considers the quality in the meaning of validation of invariants obtained by the mesh, using automatic differentiation.
