Goal-Oriented Adaptive THB-Spline Schemes for PDE-Based Planar Parameterization (2001.08874v2)

Abstract: This paper presents a PDE-based planar parameterization framework with support for Truncated Hierarchical B-Splines (THB-splines). For this, we adopt the a posteriori refinement strategy of Dual Weighted Residual and present several adaptive numerical schemes for the purpose of approximating an inversely harmonic geometry parameterization. Hereby, the combination of goal-oriented a posteriori strategies and THB-enabled local refinement avoids over-refinement, in particular in geometries with complex boundaries. To control the parametric properties of the outcome, we introduce the concept of domain refinement. Hereby, the properties of the domain into which the mapping maps inversely harmonically, are optimized in order to fine-tune the parametric properties of the recomputed geometry parameterization.
