This paper presents a new method to extract the 3D shape of objects from 3D gray level images using a bicubic B-spline surface model. Extraction of object shape is achieved throug...
A robust statistics approach to curvature estimation on discretely sampled surfaces, namely polygon meshes and point clouds, is presented. The method exhibits accuracy, stability ...

In vision and graphics, there is a sustained interest in capturing accurate 3D shape with various scanning devices. However, the resulting geometric representation is only part of...
This paper introduces a method that reconstructs a surface patch by sampling along three concurrent curves on the surface with a touch sensor. These data curves, each lying in a d...
