Sparse Low-degree IMplicit (SLIM) surface [11] is a recently developed non-conforming surface representation. In this paper, a method for free-form deformation of SLIM surfaces is...
Polygonal meshes obtained from acquisition of real-world objects may easily exhibit topological or geometrical defects, which often prevent subsequent processing and analysis to p...
We discuss a shape representation based on a set of disconnected (planar) polygons. The polygons are computed by creating a BSP that contains approximately linear surface patches ...
Most real world objects consist of non-uniform materials; as a result, during deformation the bending and shearing are distributed non-uniformly and depend on the local stiffness ...
Databases of 3D shapes have become widespread for a variety of applications, and a key research problem is searching these databases for similar shapes. This paper introduces a me...
