N-sided hole filling plays an important role in vertex blending. To deal with the case that the corner is surrounded by rational surfaces (i.e. NURBS surfaces), an algorithm to fi...
This paper compares two techniques for the approximation of the offsets to a given planar curve. The two methods are based on approximate conversion of the planar curve into circu...
Presented in this paper is a sweepline algorithm to compute the Voronoi diagram of a set of circles in a two-dimensional Euclidean space. The radii of the circles are non-negative...

A robust and efficient algorithm for trimming both local and global self-intersections in offset curves and surfaces is presented. Our scheme is based on the derivation of a ratio...
This paper presents a virtual CAD system developed for clothing thermal functional design and simulation. It allows designers and engineers in virtual space to design and preview ...

Design and analysis of articulated mechanical structures, commonly referred to as linkages, is an integral part of any CAD/CAM system. The most common approaches formulate the pro...
Fat conic section and fat conic spline are defined. With well established properties of fat conic splines, the problem of approximating a ruled surface by a tangent smooth cone sp...
Given a set of spheres in 3D, constructing its Voronoi diagram in Euclidean distance metric is not easy at all even though many mathematical properties of its structure are known....
Traditional mesh-based approaches to the modeling and analysis of physical fields within geometric models require some form of topological reconstruction and conversion in the mes...
