Abstract

This paper surveys the construction, properties, and applications of generalized barycentric coordinates on polygons and polyhedra. Applications include: surface mesh parametrization in geometric modelling; image, curve, and surface deformation in computer graphics; and polygonal and polyhedral finite element methods.
