This paper presents a novel segmentation method to assist the rigging of articulated bodies. The method computes a coarse-to-fine hierarchy of segments ordered by the level of det...
We present a family of discrete isometric bending models (IBMs) for triangulated surfaces in 3-space. These models are derived from an axiomatic treatment of discrete Laplace oper...
This paper proposes a novel approach to motion capture
from multiple, synchronized video streams, specifically
aimed at recording dense and accurate models of the structure
and ...

—In this paper, we propose a novel predictive model, active volume model (AVM), for object boundary extraction. It is a dynamic “object” model whose manifestation includes a ...
This paper presents a new way to model clothing worn by articulated implicit characters. A scalar field is produced using ellipsoids as primitives. Isosurfaces are then used to pl...
