Abstract. We have developped a physically-based model where an object is represented by a set of mass points on its contour. Each object may be defined locally and physically usin...
The spherical harmonic (SPHARM) description is a powerful surface modeling technique that can model arbitrarily shaped but simply connected three dimensional (3D) objects. Because...

In this paper we introduce a novel Riemannian framework for shape analysis of parameterized surfaces. We derive a distance function between any two surfaces that is invariant to r...

This paper describes a method for creating object surfaces from binary-segmented data that are free from aliasing and terracing artifacts. In this method, a net of linked surface n...
A popular view is that the brain works in a similar way to a digital computer or a Universal Turing Machine by processing symbols. Psychophysical experiments and our amazing capabi...
