Abstract
The adaptive mesh model is extended in several ways. Open adaptive
meshes and closed adaptive shells based on triangular and rectangular
elements are developed. A discontinuity detection and preservation
algorithm suitable for the model is proposed. Techniques for adaptive
hierarchical subdivision of adaptive meshes and shells are also
developed. The extended model is applied to image and 3D surface data
