Automatic body feature extraction from a marker-less scanned human body
In this paper, we propose a novel method of body feature extraction from a marker-less scanned body. The descriptions of human body features mostly defined in ASTM (1999) and ISO...

Interpolation by geometric algorithm
We present a novel geometric algorithm to construct a smooth surface that interpolates a triangular or a quadrilateral mesh of arbitrary topological type formed by n vertices. Alt...

Detection of closed sharp edges in point clouds using normal estimation and graph theory
The reconstruction of a surface model from a point cloud is an important task in the reverse engineering of industrial parts. We aim at constructing a curve network on the point c...

A formal theory for estimating defeaturing-induced engineering analysis errors
Defeaturing is a popular CAD/ CAE simplification technique where ‘small or irrelevant features’ are suppressed within a CAD model for speeding-up downstream processes, especia...

A spectral approach to shape-based retrieval of articulated 3D models
We present an approach for robust shape retrieval from databases containing articulated 3D models. Each shape is represented by the eigenvectors of an appropriately defined affin...
