A formulation for the contact forces between curved surfaces in resting (non-colliding) contact is presented. In contrast to previous formulations, constraints on the allowable ta...
We analyze the problem of recovering the shape of a mirror surface. We generalize the results of [1], where the special case of planar and spherical mirror surfaces was considered,...
Following the definition of developable surface in differential geometry, the flattenable mesh surface, a special type of piecewiselinear surface, inherits the good property of ...
In this paper, we present a new B-spline surface reconstruction approach, called dynamic surface reconstruction, aiming to close the sensingand-modeling loop in 3D digitization. A...
We draw on the observation that the amount of heat diffusing outside of a heated body in a short period of time is proportional to its surface area, to design a simple algorithm f...
