Exploring Surface Characteristics with Interactive Gaussian Images (A Case Study)
The Gauss map projects surface normals to a unit sphere, providing a powerful visualization of the geometry of a graphical object. It can be used to predict visual events caused b...

Mapping and Pursuit-Evasion Strategies For a Simple Wall-Following Robot
— This paper defines and analyzes a simple robot with local sensors that moves in an unknown polygonal environment. The robot can execute wall-following motions and can traverse...

Fitting Smooth Surfaces to Dense Polygon Meshes
Recent progress in acquiring shape from range data permits the acquisition of seamless million-polygon meshes from physical models. In this paper, we present an algorithm and syst...

GAPS: general and automatic polygonal simplification
We present a new approach for simplifying polygonal objects. Our method is general in that it works on models that contain both non-manifold geometry and surface attributes. It is...

Shape Simplification Based on the Medial Axis Transform
We present a new algorithm for simplifying the shape of 3D objects by manipulating their medial axis transform (MAT). From an unorganized set of boundary points, our algorithm com...
