We present a generalization of thin-plate splines for interpolation and approximation of manifold-valued data, and demonstrate its usefulness in computer graphics with several app...

Thin plate splines are a well known entity of geometric design. They are defined as the minimizer of a variational problem whose differential operators approximate a simple notio...
Hinge-based bending models are widely used in the physically-based animation of cloth, thin plates and shells. We propose a hinge-based model that is simpler to implement, more ef...

In this paper, we present an automatic face authentication system. Accurate segmentation of prominent facial features is accomplished by means of an extension of the Active Shape M...
Evaluating and comparing the quality of surface interpolants is an important problem in computer graphics, computer aided geometric design and scienti c visualization. We introduc...
