Hi All,

I am working on a graphics project which involves simplification of images using triangle decimation. I am coding along the lines of http://mgarland.org/software/qslim.html and http://jsomers.com/vipm_demo/meshsimp.html.

The problem is that for the ply file that i have and the implementation that i did, there are small triangles spewed across the ply file generated.

There are holes even when no new non-manifold edges are created. In decimation techniques , is it usual to let the holes form and then fill or is there a way to decimate without producing any holes.

PS: I tried to decimate the ply file with the help of the above software, those softwares also generated holes in the decimated image.

I can send the ply model that i use if anyone needs it ..
