A quadtree-based triangulation, sometimes called an RTIN, is a common hierarchical representation of terrain for 3D visualization. In this paper we focus on the memory/error bound...
We consider the problem of bounding the combinatorial complexity of a single cell in an arrangement of n low-degree algebraic surface patches in 3-space. We show that this complex...
Creating freeform surfaces is a challenging task even with advanced geometric modeling systems. Laser range scanners offer a promising alternative for model acquisition--the 3D sc...
The approximation of surfaces to scattered data is an important problem encountered in a variety of scientific applications, such as reverse engineering, computer vision, computer...
: A new method for the characterization of molecules based on the model approach of molecular surfaces is presented. We use the topographical properties of the surface as well as t...
