Tetrahedral Mesh

Tetrahedral meshes, three-dimensional structures composed of interconnected tetrahedra (four-sided pyramids), are increasingly used in scientific computing and computer graphics to represent complex shapes and volumes. Current research focuses on improving the efficiency and quality of tetrahedral mesh generation and manipulation, particularly through novel algorithms like those incorporating Gaussian splatting or convolutional neural networks operating directly on tetrahedral structures. These advancements are driving progress in diverse fields, including physics-based simulations, 3D reconstruction (e.g., of human bodies or crystalline materials), and medical image analysis, where accurate and efficient mesh representations are crucial for analysis and modeling.
