Abstract
A simple, continuous, 2-dimensional Fourier representation of closed surfaces is presented. It is applied to the triangulation of the human torso surface for an arbitrary number of triangles. The shape of the torso is described by a radius function expressed in the cylindrical co-ordinates z and ϕ. A listing of a FORTRAN program is given, performing this triangulation at equi- zand ϕ values. In addition ordered vertex index triples are computed, allowing the determination of the outward normal vector of each triangle.Keywords
