> One of the methods that most struck me to automate this simplification was taking the CAD model, transforming it to the frequency domain where high frequencies represent small geometric details and large frequencies, larges underlying features in the model's geometry. So you can filter out the high frequencies, transform it back and end up with a simplified model. You've literally filtered away the smaller geometric features of the model. That’s a very interesting idea. I guess the problem is though, how would you be able to make such a transformation?
