Solid modeling based on partial differential equations (PDEs) can potentially unify both geometric constraints and functional requirements within a single design framework to mode...
In this paper we articulate a new modeling paradigm for both local and global editing on complicated point set surfaces of arbitrary topology. In essence, the proposed technique l...
In this paper we develop a theory for characterizing how deformable a shape is given a sequence of its observations. We define a term called ‘‘deformability index’’ (DI) ...
Topology is a fundamental property of shapes in pictures. Since the input for any image analysis algorithm is a digital image, which does not need to have the same topological char...
In this paper, we investigate the utility of static anthropometric distances as a biometric for human identification. The 3D landmark data from the CAESAR database is used to form...
