First input V_in is a vertices list (X Y Z coordinates) which may contain duplicata (identical rows).Second input T_in is the corresponding <a href = "https://fr.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/triangulation.html">triangulation</a> , in which each integer represents the row index of the vertex in the list V_in.First output V_out -the easiest to compute- is the list of vertices without duplicata.Second output T_out is a bit more tricky to compute : once you get rid of duplicated vertices, you of course have to update their corresponding indices in the triangulation array. The resulting table is T_out which admit no duplicated triangle.NB : triangle orientations in T_out doesn't matter : [i1 i2 i3] is the same as [i3 i2 i1] for instanceExample on a regular octahedron included in the unit sphere :<pre class="language-matlab">V_in = [0 0 1;...
