The recent ability to measure quickly and inexpensively dense sets of points on physical objects has deeply influenced the way engineers used to represent shapes in CAD systems, ...

We present a refinement and a coarsening (also simplification or decimation) algorithm for the adaptive representation of bivariate functions. The algorithms have proved to be eff...
This paper presents the cognitive model of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) developed for the Maryland Virtual Patient simulation and mentoring environment. GERD represents a...

A deformation invariant representation of surfaces, the GPS embedding, is introduced using the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami differential operator. Notabl...
Traditional mesh-based approaches to the modeling and analysis of physical fields within geometric models require some form of topological reconstruction and conversion in the mes...
