penMesh is a generic and efficient data structure for representing and manipulating polygonal meshes. OpenMesh is developed at the Computer Graphics Group, RWTH Aachen , as part of the OpenSGPlus project, is funded by the German Ministry for Research and Education ( BMBF), and will serve as geometry kernel upon which the so-called high level primitives (e.g. subdivision surfaces or progressive meshes) of OpenSGPlus are built.
It was designed with the following goals in mind :
Flexibility : provide a basis for many different algorithms without the need for adaptation.
Efficiency : maximize time efficiency while keeping memory usage as low as possible.
Ease of use : wrap complex internal structure in an easy-to-use interface.
This paper studies the problem of categorical data clustering,
especially for transactional data characterized by high
dimensionality and large volume. Starting from a heuristic method
of increasing the height-to-width ratio of the cluster histogram, we
develop a novel algorithm – CLOPE, which is very fast and
scalable, while being quite effective. We demonstrate the
performance of our algorithm on two real world
