Detailed Description

template<class GeometricSimplifiableComplex, class EdgeProfile = Edge_profile<GeometricSimplifiableComplex>>
class Gudhi::contraction::Skeleton_blocker_contractor< GeometricSimplifiableComplex, EdgeProfile >

Class that allows to contract iteratively edges of a simplicial complex.

The simplification algorithm consists in iteratively picking the edge with lowest cost and performing an edge contraction if the contraction is valid. This class is policy based (and much inspired from the edge collapse package of CGAL http://doc.cgal.org/latest/Surface_mesh_simplification/index.html).

Policies that can be changed are :

• the cost policy : how much cost an edge contraction
• the placement policy : where will be placed the contraction point
• the valid contraction policy : is the contraction valid. For instance, it can be a topological condition (link condition) or a geometrical condition (normals messed up).

Examples

Garland_heckbert.cpp, and Rips_contraction.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Skeleton_blocker_contractor() [1/2]

template<class GeometricSimplifiableComplex , class EdgeProfile = Edge_profile<GeometricSimplifiableComplex>>

Gudhi::contraction::Skeleton_blocker_contractor< GeometricSimplifiableComplex, EdgeProfile >::Skeleton_blocker_contractor ( GeometricSimplifiableComplex &  complex )

inline

Constructor with default policies.

The default cost, placement, valid and visitor policies are respectively : the edge length, the first point, the link condition

Skeleton_blocker_contractor() [2/2]

template<class GeometricSimplifiableComplex , class EdgeProfile = Edge_profile<GeometricSimplifiableComplex>>

Gudhi::contraction::Skeleton_blocker_contractor< GeometricSimplifiableComplex, EdgeProfile >::Skeleton_blocker_contractor ( GeometricSimplifiableComplex &  complex, Cost_policy_ *  cost_policy, Placement_policy_ *  placement_policy = new First_vertex_placement<Profile>, Valid_contraction_policy_ *  valid_contraction_policy = new Link_condition_valid_contraction<Profile>, Contraction_visitor_ *  contraction_visitor = new Contraction_visitor_(), Edge_profile_factory_ *  edge_profile_factory = NULL  )

inline

Constructor with customed policies.

Remarks

Policies destruction is handle by the class with smart pointers.

Member Function Documentation

contract_edges()

template<class GeometricSimplifiableComplex , class EdgeProfile = Edge_profile<GeometricSimplifiableComplex>>

void Gudhi::contraction::Skeleton_blocker_contractor< GeometricSimplifiableComplex, EdgeProfile >::contract_edges ( int  num_max_contractions = -1 )

inline

Contract edges.

While the heap is not empty, it extracts the edge with the minimum cost in the heap then try to contract it. It stops when the Stop policy says so or when the number of contractions given by 'num_max_contractions' is reached (if this number is positive).
