In many industries, products are constructed by assembled surface patches in 3, where each patch is expected to have an isometric map to a corresponding region in 2. The widely in...
Following the definition of developable surface in differential geometry, the flattenable mesh surface, a special type of piecewiselinear surface, inherits the good property of ...
This paper presents a robust and efficient surface flattening approach based on fitting a woven-like mesh model on a 3D freeform surface. The fitting algorithm is based on tendon ...
