In surgical simulations, the two most popular approaches to model soft tissues are Finite Element Method (FEM) and Mass-Spring System (MSS). Main advantages of FEM are accuracy and...
We present a novel approach to parameterize a mesh with disk topology to the plane in a shape-preserving manner. Our key contribution is a local/global algorithm, which combines a...

Performances of actual mesh compression algorithms vary significantly depending on the type of model it encodes. These methods rely on prior assumptions on the mesh to be efficient...
We present a method for solving the following problem: Given a set of data points scattered in three dimensions and an initial triangular mesh M0, produce a mesh M, of the same to...

When we derive multi-scale databases from a source spatial database, the geometries and topological relations, which are a kind of constraints defined explicitly or implicitly in ...
