We focused on progressive representation based on Garland and Hoppe approach. The comparison of simple methods using quadric mesh simplification to the view-dependent implementation of progressive methods was performed. The mesh simplification is further improved by introducing the characteristic points fixing the distinguishable points on human face. The test and discussion of the implemented method were given using face scans from 3dMD face scanner.</p>
