We present an algorithm to identify the flat and tubular regions of a three dimensional shape from its point sample. We consider the distance function to the input point cloud an...
For a set S of points in Rd, an s-spanner is a graph on S such that any pair of points is connected via some path in the spanner whose total length is at most s times the Euclidea...
Diagram manipulation in conventional CAD systems requires frequent mode switching and explicit placement of the pivot for rotation and scaling. In order to simplify this process, ...
In the original formulation of influence diagrams (IDs), each model contained exactly one utility node. Tatman and Shachter (1990), introduced the possibility of having super-valu...
Many information sources use multiple modalities, such as textbooks, which contain both text and diagrams. Each captures information that is hard to express in the other, and evid...
