Description
    Swept face area weighted Arbitrary Mesh Interface (AMI) method

    This method uses the point normals of the source patch to sweep the source
    faces over the target patches. This creates a projection which fills space,
    and which therefore generates overlap areas which are consistent between
    neighbouring faces. The projection of a source edge is shown below:
    \verbatim
                /
               /
          n_1 ^
             /
            /
       p_1 o
           \\
            \\  ^ u
             \\  \
              \\  + - > v
               \\
                o - - - > - - -
              p_0      n_0
    \endverbatim

    The surface is, in general, not flat. Any deviation between the two end
    normals generates expansion, contraction, and twist in the surface. The
    surface connects with surfaces emanating from connected edges along the end
    normals. This is what makes the projection fill space and generate
    consistent overlaps between neighbouring faces.

    The projected surface is parameterised by the local coordinates, \f$u\f$
    and \f$v\f$, and a position on this plane is calculated from \f$u\f$ and
    \f$v\f$ as follows:
    \f[
        x(u, v) = p_0 + (p_1 - p_0) u + [ q_0 + (q_1 - q_0) u ] v
    \f]

    To calculate an intersection with a line between points \f$l_0\f$ to
    \f$l_1\f$, we define a local coordinate, \f$w\f$, along the line, and
    subtract it's equation from that of the surface:
    \f[
        0 = (p_0 - l_0) - (l_1 - l_0) w + (p_1 - p_0) u +
            [ q_0 + (q_1 - q_0) u ] v
    \f]

    This is a system of three equations in three unknowns. It is non-linear,
    courtesy of the \f$u v\f$ term at the end. It can be reduced to a single
    quadratic in any of the three variables. We choose to solve for \f$u\f$ by
    taking the dot product of the above equation with the following vector:
    \f[
        (l_1 - l_0) \times [ q_0 + (q_1 - q_0) u ]
    \f]

    The sign of the intersection (i.e., whether the line crosses from below the
    surface to above or vice versa) can be determined by taking the dot product
    of the line vector with the surface normal at the intersection. The surface
    normal is as follows:
    \f[
        n(u, v) = (p_1 - p_0) \times [q_0 + (q_1 - q_0) u] + (q_1 \times q_0) v
    \f]
