Current approaches to skeleton generation are based on topological and geometrical information only; this can be insufficient for realistic character animation, since the location...
A curve skeleton is a compact representation of 3D objects and has numerous applications. It can be used to describe an object's geometry and topology. In this paper, we intro...
We present an effective framework for segmenting 3D shapes into meaningful components using the curve skeleton. Our algorithm identifies a number of a critical points on the curv...
In this paper, we propose to address the semanticoriented 3D mesh hierarchical segmentation problem, using enhanced topological skeletons [18]. This high level information drives ...
This paper proposes a novel volume-based motion capture method using a bottom-up analysis of volume data and an example topology database of the human body. By using a two-step gra...
