Feature-Preserving Mesh Decimation for Normal Integration
Motivation Normal integration reconstructs 3D surfaces from normal maps obtained e.g. by photometric stereo. These normal maps capture surface details down to the pixel level but require large computational resources for integration at high resolutions.

An Adaptive Screen-Space Meshing Approach for Normal Integration
Motivation Increasing the resolution of the normal map improves the accuracy of fine structures but increases computational complexity. In smooth, featureless regions, this added complexity yields little additional information. Our screen-space remeshing pipeline decimates smooth, featureless areas efficiently before the normal integration while preserving high-frequency details.
