Abstract

The parameterization of surfaces is a cornerstone to various
  applications in computer graphics such as texture mapping,
  resampling, and simulation.  We introduce new linear operators for
  generating mappings of low parametric distortion. Given an
  initial mapping from the parametric plane onto a surface mesh, we
  establish a secondary map of the plane onto itself that mimics the
  initial one.  The resulting low-distortion parameterization is
  smooth as it stems from solving a quasi-harmonic equation.  Our
  parameterization method is robust and independent of (the quality
  of) the initial map.  In fact, for most cases the methods converges
  from a simple projection on the least squares plane even for complex
  models.
