Though implicit representations of surfaces have often been used for various computer graphics tasks like modeling and morphing of objects, it has rarely been used for registratio...
Given an m-dimensional surface in Rn , we characterize parametric curves in , which interpolate or approximate a sequence of given points pi and minimize a given energy functio...
This paper presents algorithms for computing offsets of NURBS curves and surfaces. The basic approach consists of four steps: (1) recognition of special curves and surfaces; (2) s...
Deformable objects play an important role in many applications, such as animation and simulation. Effective computation with deformable surfaces can be achieved through the use of...
