Motivated by applications in computer graphics, visualization, and scienti c computation, we study the computational complexity of the following problem: Given a set S of n points...
The Laplace-Beltrami operator of a smooth Riemannian manifold is determined by the Riemannian metric. Conversely, the heat kernel constructed from its eigenvalues and eigenfunctio...

In this paper we present a novel method for estimating the object pose for 3D objects with welldefined planar surfaces. Specifically, we investigate the feasibility of estimating...

Abstract. Recently a curvature theory for polyhedral surfaces has been established which associates with each face a mean curvature value computed from areas and mixed areas of tha...
Artists and illustrators can evoke the complexity of fur or vegetation with relatively few well-placed strokes. We present an algorithm that uses strokes to render 3D computer gra...
