Given a nonsingular compact two-manifold F without boundary, we present methods for establishing a family of surfaces which can approximate F so that each approximant is ambient i...

An efficient data reduction scheme for the simplification of a surface given by a large set X of 3D point-samples is proposed. The data reduction relies on a recursive point remov...
A fast online algorithm was developed for polygonal approximation of signals and curves with a minimum number of line segments for a given constraint on the standard deviation of ...
As compatible meshes play important roles in many computeraided design applications, we present a new approach for modelling compatible meshes. Our compatible mesh modelling metho...

While existing methods for 3D surface approximation use local geometric properties, we propose that more intuitive results can be obtained by considering global shape properties s...
