In this paper, the duality in differential form is developed between a 3D primal surface and its dual manifold formed by the surface's tangent planes, i.e., each tangent plan...
We present an algorithm for computing the distance between two free-form surfaces. Using line geometry, the distance computation is reformulated as a simple instance of a surface-...
For registration of 3-D free-form surfaces we have developed a representation which requires no knowledge of the transformation between views. The representation comprises descrip...
We develop a dynamic, free-form surface model which is useful for representing a broad class of objects with symmetries and topological variability. The new model is based upon sw...
We analyze the problem of recovering the shape of a mirror surface. We generalize the results of [1], where the special case of planar and spherical mirror surfaces was considered,...
