Abstract: How to organize data structure of 3D mesh models is a very important issue for implementing various digital geometric algorithms. In this paper, the issue is deeply discussed and a versatile mesh data structure is presented based on the half-edge structure. The data structure has several advantages, which is benefited for dynamic accessing and storing 3D mesh data in the data structure. The flexibility and adjustability of the data organization is testified by several digital geometric algorithms via a set of example models. The data structure can be used in implementing various algorithms of digital geometry processing to efficiently support related calculation and processing of meshes.
