Abstract. The modeling of concepts from a cognitive perspective is important for designing spatial information systems that interoperate with human users. Concept representations t...
— This paper provides that an elastic force and an elastic potential energy due to the deformation of soft fingers, which are previously derived, can be calculated into straight...
Let G be an unweighted graph of complexity n cellularly embedded in a surface (orientable or not) of genus g. We describe improved algorithms to compute (the length of) a shortest...
Point clouds are one of the most primitive and fundamental surface representations. A popular source of point clouds are three dimensional shape acquisition devices such as laser ...
This paper expands the role of the new field of computational topology by surveying methods for incorporating connectedness in shape modeling. Two geometric representations in par...
