Deformations of general parametric shells: Computation and robot experiment
— A shell is a body enclosed between two closely spaced and curved surfaces. Classical theory of shells [38], [33], [16] assumes a parametrization along the lines of principal cu...

Data-dependent fairing of subdivision surfaces
In this paper we present a new algorithm for solving the data dependent fairing problem for subdivision surfaces, using Catmull-Clark surfaces as an example. Earlier approaches to...

A Buyer's Guide to Euclidean Elliptical Cylindrical and Conical Surface Fitting
The ability to construct CAD or other object models from edge and range data has a fundamental meaning in building a recognition and positioning system. While the problem of model...

Direct least-squares fitting of algebraic surfaces
In the course of developing a system for fitting smooth curves to camera input we have developed several direct (i.e. noniterative) methods for fitting a shape (line, circle, conic...
