Discrete Tensorial Quasi-Harmonic Maps

We introduce new linear operators for surface parameterization. Given an initial mapping from the parametric plane onto a surface mesh, we establish a secondary map from the plane onto itself that mimics the initial one. The resulting low-distortion parameterization is smooth as it stems from solving a quasi-harmonic equation. Our parameterization method is robust and independent of (the quality of) the initial map.
