Discrete filtering of information over triangulated surfaces has proved very useful in computer graph- ics applications. This technique is based on diffusion equations and has been extensively applied to image processing, harmonic map regularization and texture generating, etc. [C. L. Bajaj and G. Xu, ACM Trans. Graph., 22 (2003), pp. 4–32], [C. Wu, J. Deng, and F. Chen, IEEE Trans. Vis. Com- put. Graph., 14 (2008), pp. 666–679]. However, little has been done on analysis (especially quan- titative analysis) of the behavior of these filtering procedures. Since in applications mesh surfaces can be of arbitrary topology and the filtering can be nonlinear and even anisotropic, the analysis of the quantitative behavior is a very difficult issue. In this paper, we first present the discrete linear, nonlinear, and anisotropic filtering schemes via discretizing diffusion equations with appropriately defined differential operators on triangulated surfaces, and then use concepts of discrete scale-spaces to describe these filtering procedures and analyze their properties respectively.
