Contour lines from topographic maps are still the most common form of elevation data for the Earth’s surface and in the case of historical landscapes, they often are the only av...
When designing curves on surfaces the need arises to approximate a given noisy target shape by a smooth fitting shape. We discuss the problem of fitting a B-spline curve to a poin...
N-sided hole filling plays an important role in vertex blending. To deal with the case that the corner is surrounded by rational surfaces (i.e. NURBS surfaces), an algorithm to fi...
This paper addresses the point-wise estimation of differential properties of a smooth manifold S--a curve in the plane or a surface in 3D--assuming a point cloud sampled over S is...
There are two major approaches for converting a tessellated CAD model that contains inconsistencies like cracks or intersections into a manifold and closed triangle mesh. Surface ...
