Computing Geodesics on Meshes with Heat
A short article explaining a beautiful way to estimate geodesics on meshes.
I created a notebook illustrating an interesting algorithm for computing geodesics by using heat simulation from this paper https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~kmcrane/Projects/HeatMethod/paperCACM.pdf.
You can find the notebook here.
Notes:
- To run interactively, either use Binder or preferably download it locally and run it with Julia.
