SmoothMesh
SmoothMesh[mesh]
smooths a mesh region mesh by adjusting cells and keeping the overall shape.
Details
- SmoothMesh is also known as mesh smoothing, denoising, filtering and fairing.
- SmoothMesh is typically used to improve mesh quality by reducing noise from 3D scanning and reconstruction.
- SmoothMesh[mesh] returns a mesh region obtained by adjusting cells while improving minimum angle, maximum angle and aspect ratio.
- SmoothMesh takes the same options as MeshRegion, with the following additions:
-
Method Automatic method to use - Possible method settings include "ExplicitLaplacian" and "ImplicitLaplacian".

Method (7)
"ExplicitLaplacian" (3)
Update vertex positions directly based on the Laplacian:
Use the option "UniformLaplace"True to use a uniform Laplacian:
Use the option "MaxIterations"->n to specify the maximum number of iterations:
"ImplicitLaplacian" (4)
Solve a linear system to update vertex positions:
Use the option "UniformLaplace"True to use a uniform Laplacian:
Use the option "MaxIterations"->n to specify the maximum number of iterations:
Use the option "TimeStep"->t to controls the extent of smoothing applied in each iteration:
