Abstract
We present a simple smoothing operator for surfel-bounded solids obtained by adding two solids together using boolean operations. When adding two surfel-bounded solids together with the union operator, it is sometimes desirable to smooth out the sharp creases in the surface of the resulting solid. This report presents a simple local smoothing operator for this purpose. We illustrate that this operator enables us to obtain a more natural integration of the two solids added together.
