HandleTunnel  software can compute a set of g handle loops and g tunnel loops on a closed surface of genus g. A loop is handle if it wraps around a handle of the surface, a loop is tunnel if it wraps around a tunnel in the complement. See the paper for precise definitions.  The input to the software should be a polygonal mesh (manifold). The detected loops are not oblivious of the geometry--they capture it quite well. The software is based on a recent result described in the  paper given below.
