Discrete geodesic graphs by Fang, Zheng

“…The computational domain shrinks to a local patch as the basis function decays to zero outside one-ring neighbors of the patch. I introduce an optimization scheme to solve the localized harmonic B-spline equation and compute the discrete Green's function quickly, which is a better simulation of ground truth on synthetic models according to experimental results. …”
