%X We present a new algorithm to compute a geodesic path over a triangulated surface. Based in Sethian's Fast Marching Method and Polthier's Straightest Geodesics theory, we are able to generate an iterative process to obtain a good discrete geodesic approximation. It can handle convex and non-convex surfaces as well.
