Representation and Reasoning about Shapes: Cognitive and Computational Studies in Visual Reasoning in Design
Abstract. This paper describes some recent cognitively-based and computationally-based research on representing and reasoning about shapes. The cognitive studies are based on proto...

Skeletal Methods of Shape Manipulation
The geometric skeleton is derived from a static object using an implicit `directions' method; an IK skeleton is derived from and used to manipulate the geometric skeleton. Th...

On the Intrinsic Reconstruction of Shape from its Symmetries
The main question we address is: what is the minimal information required to generate closed, non-intersecting planar boundaries? For this paper we restrict ‘shape’ to this mea...
