We present an approach to hierarchically encode the topology of functions over triangulated surfaces. We describe the topology of a function by its Morse-Smale complex, a well kno...
The 3D Morse-Smale complex is a fundamental topological construct that partitions the domain of a real-valued function into regions having uniform gradient flow behavior. In this...
Recent research on point-based surface representations suggests that point sets may be a viable alternative to parametric surface representations in applications where the topolog...
This paper presents a flexible, scalable framework for interactive hands-on shape design in a haptic, stereoscopic virtual environment. The framework is founded upon the concept ...
— The ability to identify similarities between shapes is important for applications such as medical diagnosis, object registration and alignment, and shape retrieval. In this pap...
