Medial axis approximation and unstable flow complex
The medial axis of a shape is known to carry a lot of information about it. In particular a recent result of Lieutier establishes that every bounded open subset of Rn has the same...

Minimum sized text containment shapes
In many text-processing applications, we would like shapes that expand (or shrink) in size to fit their textual content. We address how to efficiently compute the minimum size fo...

Identifying flat and tubular regions of a shape by unstable manifolds
We present an algorithm to identify the flat and tubular regions of a three dimensional shape from its point sample. We consider the distance function to the input point cloud an...

A Fracture Mechanics Approach to Haptic Synthesis of Tissue Cutting with Scissors
An analytical model for cutting of a plate of material with a pair of scissors is presented in terms of concepts of contact and fracture mechanics. The forces of contact between t...
