  abstract =     "The method most commonly used to estimate the normal
                 vector at a vertex of a polygonal surface averages the
                 normal vectors of the facets incident to the vertex
                 considered. The vertex normal obtained in this way may
                 vary depending on the tessellation of the polygonal
                 surface since the normal of each incident facet
                 contributes equally to the normal in the vertex. To
                 overcome this drawback, we extend the method so that it
                 also incorporates the geometric contribution of each
                 facet, consider the angle under which a facet is
                 incident to the vertex in question.",
