Using the projected curve of surface mesh boundary as parameter domainborder, linear mapping parameterization with natural boundary is realized. A fast algorithm forleast squares fitting plane of vertices in the mesh boundary is proposed. After the mesh boundary isprojected onto the fitting plane, low-pass filtering is adopted to eliminate crossovers, sharpcorners and cavities in the projected curve and convert it into an eligible convex parameter domainboundary. In order to facilitate quantitative evaluations of parameterization schemes, threedistortion-measuring formulae are presented.
