Modeling tasks, such as surface deformation and editing, can be analyzed by observing the local behavior of the surface. We argue that defining a modeling operation by asking for ...
We present a novel approach to creating deformations of polygonal models using Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) to produce localized real-time deformations. Radial Basis Functions as...
We present a general framework for image discrimination based on identifying small, localized differences between images. Our novel matching scheme is based on an alternate inform...

We introduce a new method that characterizes typical local image features (e.g., SIFT [9], phase feature [3]) in terms of their distinctiveness, detectability, and robustness to i...
Geometric deformable models based on the level set method have become very popular in the last several years. To overcome an inherent limitation in accuracy while maintaining comp...
