Bender: a virtual ribbon for deforming 3D shapes in biomedical and styling applications
In contrast to machined mechanical parts, the 3D shapes encountered in biomedical or styling applications contain many tubular parts, protrusions, engravings, embossings, folds, a...

Discrete Optimization of the Multiphase Piecewise Constant Mumford-Shah Functional
Abstract. The Mumford-Shah model has been one of the most powerful models in image segmentation and denoising. The optimization of the multiphase Mumford-Shah energy functional has...

Non-Euclidean image-adaptive Radial Basis Functions for 3D interactive segmentation
In the context of variational image segmentation, we propose a new finite-dimensional implicit surface representation. The key idea is to span a subset of implicit functions with ...

Predicting reflectance functions from complex surfaces
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

Haptic Search for Spheres and Cubes
If you have multiple objects in your pocket, some are easy to find among the other ones, for instance, when they differ much in material properties or shape. Information on which...
