A canal surface is an envelope of a one parameter family of spheres. In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for computing the implicit equation of a canal surface generat...
We overview a new method for computing the arrangement of semi-algebraic curves. A subdivision approach is used to compute the topology of the algebraic objects and to segment the...
Abstract-- This paper proposes a deterministic observer design for visual tracking based on non-parametric implicit (level-set) curve descriptions. The observer is continuous-discr...

Given a smooth surface, a blue (red) ridge is a curve such that at each of its points, the maximum (minimum) principal curvature has an extremum along its curvature line. Ridges a...
A method is presented to broaden implicit surface modeling. The implicit surfaces usually employed in computer graphics are two dimensional manifolds because they are defined by r...
