We propose a general method that parameterizes general surfaces with complex (possible branching) topology using Riemann surface structure. Rather than evolve the surface geometry...

Thin plate splines are a well known entity of geometric design. They are defined as the minimizer of a variational problem whose differential operators approximate a simple notio...
The minimum distance computation problem between two surfaces is very important in many applications such as robotics, CAD/CAM and computer graphics. Given two implicit algebraic ...
An algorithm for calculating the minimum distance between non-convex polyhedra is described. A polyhedron is represented by a set of triangles. In calculating the distance between...
In this paper we present a method to achieve interactive rendering of smooth terrain based on coarse data. Therefore we use adaptive subdivision surfaces which are calculated on t...
