In some applications objects are known to have nonsmooth or “jagged” edges, which are not well approximated by smooth curves. We use subdivision curves as a simple but flexib...
Although classical object-oriented programming languages provide high-level modeling capacities t data type, inheritance etc.), they remain low-level when it comes to data manipul...
Three-dimensional (3D) image acquisition systems are rapidly becoming more affordable, especially systems based on commodity electronic cameras. At the same time, personal compute...
Semantic models have shown the utility of arbitrary user-de ned relationships for de ning the semantics of database information, while objectoriented models have developed a stron...
The iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm [2] is a popular method for modeling 3D objects from range data. The classical ICP algorithm rests on a rigid surface assumption. Build...
