We present an approach for large-scale modeling of parametric surfaces using spherical harmonics (SHs). A standard least square fitting (LSF) method for SH expansion is not scala...
Smoothly bent paper-like surfaces are developable. They are however difficult to minimally parameterize since the number of meaningful parameters is intrinsically dependent on the...
We consider the problem of capturing shape characteristics on specular (refractive and reflective) surfaces that are nearly flat. These surfaces are difficult to model using tradit...
This paper presents a novel paradigm for point set surface editing, which takes advantages of the potential of implicit surfaces, the strength of physics based modeling techniques...
Inspection of reflection line patterns is a standard way to check the quality of free form surfaces. In this paper, we describe an approach which enables the designer to control d...
