Abstract
A method of operating a fuzzy inference system to simplify a mesh capable of producing a high-quality approximate mesh and retaining good characteristics and appearance so that a good visual effect emerges. The invention utilizes a fuzzy inference system to integrate mesh attributes and estimate the cost in removing certain data, which serve as a criteria for mesh simplification. Hence, the invention is suitable for progressive meshes, multiresolution modeling rendering and progressive transmission on a network.
