Isotropic remeshing creates self intersections

[sloriot]

@janetournois It seems to come from the projection step. The vertex 2459 is very close to a face in the input:

In the output, I guess it gets projected onto the face rather that the original vertex (probably because of the smoothing that moves it). I'm not sure we can do much in such a case. For sure adding that vertex as constrained vertex would fix the issue, but it's a "manual" fix.

As it seems the mesh was not combinatorially modified near that vertex, maybe the smoothing should only apply to modified regions?

But it still has self-intersections after setting do_projection to false.

  PMP::isotropic_remeshing(faces(mesh), 0.3, mesh,
                           CGAL::parameters::number_of_iterations(10)
                                            .protect_constraints(true).do_project(false));

As I tried to say, I guess that the smoothing moves the vertex across the face and the projection put it on the face.

You can try disabling the smoothing

Thanks. I set number_of_relaxation_steps(0), and the problem was solved.

Thank you very much for your assistance. I conducted further tests, and although probability of occurrence is less, it still doesn't resolve all cases.

  PMP::isotropic_remeshing(faces(merge_mesh), 0.3, merge_mesh,
                           CGAL::parameters::number_of_iterations(3).number_of_relaxation_steps(0).do_project(false)
