Surface reconstruction using local shape priors
We present an example-based surface reconstruction method for scanned point sets. Our approach uses a database of local shape priors built from a set of given context models that ...

Data-dependent MLS for faithful surface approximation
In this paper we present a high-fidelity surface approximation technique that aims at a faithful reconstruction of piecewise-smooth surfaces from a scattered point set. The presen...

GPU-assisted positive mean value coordinates for mesh deformations
In this paper we introduce positive mean value coordinates (PMVC) for mesh deformation. Following the observations of Joshi et al. [JMD07] we show the advantage of having positive...

Fast normal vector compression with bounded error
We present two methods for lossy compression of normal vectors through quantization using "base" polyhedra. The first revisits subdivision-based quantization. The second...

Symmetry-enhanced remeshing of surfaces
While existing methods for 3D surface approximation use local geometric properties, we propose that more intuitive results can be obtained by considering global shape properties s...

Focal surfaces of discrete geometry
The differential geometry of smooth three-dimensional surfaces can be interpreted from one of two perspectives: in terms of oriented frames located on the surface, or in terms of ...

Discrete laplace operators: no free lunch
Discrete Laplace operators are ubiquitous in applications spanning geometric modeling to simulation. For robustness and efficiency, many applications require discrete operators th...

Voronoi-based variational reconstruction of unoriented point sets
We introduce an algorithm for reconstructing watertight surfaces from unoriented point sets. Using the Voronoi diagram of the input point set, we deduce a tensor field whose princ...

Robust statistical estimation of curvature on discretized surfaces
A robust statistics approach to curvature estimation on discretely sampled surfaces, namely polygon meshes and point clouds, is presented. The method exhibits accuracy, stability ...

A streaming algorithm for surface reconstruction
We present a streaming algorithm for reconstructing closed surfaces from large non-uniform point sets based on a geometric convection technique. Assuming that the sample points ar...
