Given a surface triangulation T of and a subset X of its vertex set V (T), we define a restricted edge contraction as a contraction of an edge connecting X and V (T)−X. Boundar...
We present a fast vectorized implementation of a transform that maps points in the unit square to the surface of the sphere, while preserving fractional area. The mapping uses the ...
In an 2D echocardiogram exam, an ultrasound probe
samples the heart with 2D slices. Changing the orientation
and position on the probe changes the slice viewpoint, altering
the ...

Abstract. The Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) is an algorithm used to detect and describe scale-, translation- and rotation-invariant local features in images. The origina...
—We study the problem of approximating a 3D solid with a union of overlapping spheres. In comparison with a stateof-the-art approach, our method offers more than an order of magn...
