Motivated by applications in architecture and manufacturing, we discuss the problem of covering a freeform surface by single curved panels. This leads to the new concept of semi-d...

We present a method to compute the medial axis of a smooth curve or surface by using PHT-spline (polynomial splines over hierarchical T-meshes) hierarchical approximation. In part...
The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) describes the appearance of a material by its interaction with light at a surface point. A variety of analytical models...
We describe two new shape operators that superimpose wrinkles on top of a smooth NURBS surface. Previous research studying wrinkles focused mostly on cloth modeling or in animatio...
We present a novel technique, termed attached shadow coding, for estimating surface normals from shadows when the reflectance and lighting conditions are unknown. Our key idea is ...
