Hello OF world,

I made a mesh quality improvement / smoothing utility for OF. It moves internal mesh points by using the Centroidal smoothing algorithm (a version of the Laplacian smoothing algorithm, which uses surrounding cell centers instead of the neighbouring vertex locations to calculate the new vertex position). Optional heuristic quality control options exist to constrain the smoothing, to avoid self-intersections. No changes to mesh topology are made.

Code available at https://github.com/tkeskita/smoothMesh

Have a look at the demo video:

Cheers!
Tuomo
