The Symmetry Set (??) and its subset the Medial Axis (? ), can be used to describe a shape. The representation of the ?? in parameter space is called the pre-Symmetry Set. Changes...
There are limitations to the current BRep based “model then animate” paradigm when animating time-dependent (dynamic) objects. This paper describes an approach to modeling dyn...
Skeleton can be viewed as a compact shape representation in that the shape can be completely reconstructed form the skeleton. We present a novel method for skeleton pruning that is...
In recent years point-based geometry has gained increasing attention as an alternative surface representation, both for efficient rendering and for flexible geometry processing of...
In this paper we articulate a new modeling paradigm for both local and global editing on complicated point set surfaces of arbitrary topology. In essence, the proposed technique l...
