We consider the ICP (iterative closest point) algorithm, which may in general be used for moving `active' elements such as curves and surfaces towards geometric objects whose...
We consider existence of curves c : [0, 1] Rn which minimize an energy of the form c(k) p (k = 1, 2, . . . , 1 < p < ) under side-conditions of the form Gj(c(t1,j), . . . ,...
For a surface patch on a smooth, two-dimensional surface in IR3 , low-distortion parameterizations are described in terms of minimizers of suitable energy functionals. Appropriate...
Topologically consistent algorithms for the intersection and trimming of free-form parametric surfaces are of fundamental importance in computer-aided design, analysis, and manufa...

In this paper we present an algorithm for parametrizing approximate algebraic surfaces by lines. The algorithm is applicable to -irreducible algebraic surfaces of degree d having ...
