Contributions
CHE implementation
We have implemented a Compact Half-Edge (CHE) data structure to manipulated triangular meshes, also can be extended for other polygonal meshes. See the paper: CHE: A scalable topological data structure for triangular meshes for more details.
Geodesics
We proposed a CPU/GPU parallel algorithm to compute geodesics distances on triangular meshes. Our approach is competitive with the current methods and is simple to implement. Please cite our paper:

}Also, we have implemented the Fast Marching algorithm, and the Heat method.
Dictionary Learning
We proposed a Dictionary Learning and Sparse Coding framework, to solve the problems of Denoising, Inpainting, and Multiresolution on triangular meshes. This work is still in process. Please cite our work:

}Hole repairing
We implemented repairing mesh holes in two steps:
- Generate a mesh to cover the hole. We modified the algorithm presented in the paper: A robust hole-filling algorithm for triangular mesh, in order to generate a planar triangular mesh using a priority queue.
- Fit the surface described by the new points in order to minimize the variation of the surface, solving the Poisson equation (see the Chapter 4 of the book Polygon Mesh Processing) or using Biharmonic splines.

Key-Points and Key-Components
We proposed a simple method based on the faces' areas to compute key-points for adaptive meshes.

}Computing key-components depends on the accuracy and definition of the key points. We were inspired by the work of Ivan Sipiran, he defined for the first time the notion of a key-component in meshes. We proposed a method based on geodesics to determine the key components.

Decimation
We are implementing the algorithm described by the paper Stellar Mesh Simplification Using Probabilistic Optimization, to compute a mesh simplification.
Fairing
We implemented Spectral and Taubin fairing algorithms to smooth a mesh surface. See the Chapter 4 of the book Polygon Mesh Processing.
Laplacian and signatures
Laplace-Beltrami operator and its eigen decomposition, WKS, HKS, GPS signatures.

Viewer
The viewer was initially based in the viewer of https://github.com/dgpdec/course. The current viewer uses VAO and VBO to render, and the shaders have been modified and upgraded.
