Hierarchies of patterns of features, of sub-assemblies, or of CSG sub-expressions are used in architectural and mechanical CAD to eliminate laborious repetitions from the design p...
In this paper we propose a novel algorithm for 3D shape searching based on the visual similarity by cutting the object into sections. This method rectifies some of the shortcomin...
In this paper, we introduce a parallel numerical scheme, the lattice Boltzmann method, to shape modeling applications. The motivation of using this originally-designed fluid dyna...
Following the definition of developable surface in differential geometry, the flattenable mesh surface, a special type of piecewiselinear surface, inherits the good property of ...
This paper presents a method to extract skeletons using examples. Our method is based on the observation that many deformations in real world applications are isometric or near is...
