\begin{ccPkgDescription}{Surface mesher}
\ccPkgSummary{
The Surface mesher package offers a global function to build a surface mesh
interpolating a given surface. The approximated surface can be defined
by an implicit equation or as a gray level in a three dimensional image.
The user has a fine control on the size and quality of the final mesh
elements.
There is no restriction on the topology or number of connected components of the surface.}
The CGAL 3D Surface Mesher package provide functions to generate
surface meshes that appoximate, more precisely interpolate,
smooth surfaces. The meshing algorithm is based on Delaunay
refinement and provides some guarantees on the resulting mesh:
the user is able to control the size and shape of the mesh
elements and the accuracy of the surface approximation.
There is no restriction on the topology and number of components
of input surfaces. The surface mesher may also be used
for non smooth surfaces but without guarantee.
The required knowledge of the input surface
is only an oracle that can tell whether a
given segment intersects the surface or not
and can compute an intersection point if any. This feature
makes the package generic enough to be
applied in a wide variety of situations. Currently, implementations
are provided for implicit surfaces described as the zero level set
of some function and surfaces described as a gray
level set in a three-dimensional image.}
