Network has been chosen as data structure, thus representing the surface as a set of contiguous non -overlapping and irregurarly shaped triangular facets.The proposed method makes use of a Delaunay triangular grid adapted to non-convex domains. Using only representative subsets of the given set of points, the method allows the construction of approximating surfaces which rest within a predefined tolerance.A Delaunay-Based Method for Surface Approximation10.2312/eg.19831026
