abstract = "We present an algorithm for polygonizing closed implicit surfaces,
which produces meshes adapted to the local curvature of the
surface. Our method is similar to, but not based on, Marching
Triangles, in that we start from a point on the surface and
develop a mesh from that point using a surface-tracking approach.
In a marked departure from previous approaches, our meshes
approximate the surface through heuristics relying on curvature.
Furthermore, our method works completely on-the-fly, resolving
cracks as it proceeds, without the need for any post-remeshing
step to correct failures. We have tested the algorithm with three
different representations of implicit surfaces, Variational,
analythical and MPU, using non-trivial data sets, yielding results
that illustrate the flexibility and scalability of our technique.
Performance comparisons with variants of Marching Cubes show that
our approach is capable of good accuracy and meshing quality
without sacri¯cing computing resources.",
