Simplifying polygonal models using successive mappings
: We present the use of mapping functions to automatically generate levels of detail with known error bounds for polygonal models. We develop a piece-wise linear mapping function f...

Shape Reconstruction from 3D and 2D Data Using PDE-Based Deformable Surfaces
In this paper, we propose a new PDE-based methodology for deformable surfaces that is capable of automatically evolving its shape to capture the geometric boundary of the data and ...

Haptic Display of Interaction between Textured Models
Surface texture is among the most salient haptic characteristics of objects; it can induce vibratory contact forces that lead to perception of roughness. In this paper, we present...

Provable Strategies for Vision-Guided Exploration in Three Dimensions
An approach is presented for exploring an unknown, arbitrary surface in three-dimensional (3D) space by a mobile robot. The main contributions are (1) an analysis of the capabilit...

Contouring Curved Quadratic Elements
We show how to extract a contour line (or isosurface) from quadratic elements—specifically from quadratic triangles and tetrahedra. We also devise how to transform the resultin...
