In this contribution a novel integration scheme, extending the conventional quadtree‐decomposition‐based approach by image compression techniques, is investigated for unfitted polygonal meshes with a particular focus on the rational Wachspress shape functions. It is shown that a meaningful reduction of integration points can be achieved without a significant loss in accuracy. However, the full potential of the method in terms of time savings can only be leveraged when applied to higher order polynomial elements.
