contents We introduce BijectiveRemesh, a robust algorithm for maintaining a continuous, bijective mapping across complex remeshing sequences on both 2D triangle surfaces and 3D tetrahedral meshes. Unlike traditional data transfer methods that rely on interpolation or projection, our approach constructs a mathematically rigorous composite map from the input mesh to the output mesh by chaining local bijective atlases defined for each primitive remeshing operation. Our framework represents the overall mapping as a composition of local bijective atlases, one per remeshing operation. Building upon successive self-parameterization, we introduce a Shared Scaffold structure for 2D triangle meshes that enforces global bijectivity through local orientation preservation. We extend this approach to handle edge splits, edge swaps, and vertex smoothing beyond the original edge collapses. For 3D tetrahedral meshes, we generalize the local atlas construction using Steinitz's Theorem and Maxwell-Cremona lifting to ensure valid embeddings. This enables exact tracking of geometric entities, including points, curves, and surfaces, across remeshing, with applications from texture transfer to volumetric simulations.
