We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

3D scanners, iso-surface extraction procedures, and several recent geometric compression schemes sample surfaces of 3D shapes in a regular fashion, without any attempt to align th...

The powerful yet conceptually simple notions of Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponent (FTLE) and Lagrangian Coherent Structures provide a powerful framework for the analysis and visualiza...

A new approach performing surface extraction from 3D images under user defined geometrical constraints is presented. The constraints are introduced through boundary curves given by...
Differential quantities, including normals, curvatures, principal directions, and associated matrices, play a fundamental role in geometric processing and physics-based modeling. ...
