Modern 3D engines used in real-time applications provide shading that
hides the lack of higher order continuity inside the shapes using
modulated normals, textures, and tone-mapping -- artifacts remain only
on interior contours and silhouettes if the surface geometry is not
smooth.
The basic idea in this paper is to apply a purely local
refinement strategy that inflates the geometry enough to avoid these
artifacts. Our technique is a geometric version of Phong normal
interpolation, not applied on normals but on the vertex positions.
We call this strategy Phong Tessellation.
