HexEx is a method for robust hex mesh extraction from 3D Integer-Grid Maps with imperfections. (Imperfect) 3D Integer-Grid Maps are what is generated by most state-of-the-art hex meshing methods such as CubeCover [Nieser et al. 2011].
Hex extraction is a complicated task because numerous special cases, ambiguities induced by numerical inaccuracies and limited solver precision, as well as imperfections in the maps pose significant challenges to the hex mesh extractor.
