GSoC2023 - ACVD for Simplification & Remeshing

[hoskillua]

Release Management

• Affected package(s): PMP (to be separated)
• Issue: https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/issues/7852
• Feature/Small Feature (if any): Approximated Centroidal Voronoi Diagrams for Simplification & Remeshing(GSoC2023-WIP)

TODO

• [x] remove commit introducing interpolated_corrected_curvatures.h after the merge of the gsoc2022 branch
• [ ] remove qem_metrics.h and types.h from history (for @sloriot)
• [ ] check branch size (for @sloriot)
• [x] handle interpolated curvature update (for @sloriot)
• [ ] debug the QEM minimization implementation (for @hoskillua)
• [ ] test the other versions as possibly some cases produce bad results (for @hoskillua)
• [ ] code cleanup (especially the logic for computing energy difference on edge and moving an element for @hoskillua )
• [ ] recompute the energy after each convergence (for @hoskillua)

[sloriot]

Note that I updated the interpolated curvature branch I'll handle the update of that PR once the other branch is merged in master.

What are the next steps for this package?
Is it complete and is it bug free, and basically needs just a submission as (small?) feature?
I noticed that there is no testsuite. And also Eigen is hardwired and not a model of a Solver concept. Does what is done here correspond to an existing Solver concept?

Unfortunately, it is not. I didn't get the chance to get into it in the past month but I am planning to work more on it later this month. Sorry for being late on that.
