A Survey of Tsume-Shogi Programs Using Variable-Depth Search
Recently, a number of programs have been developed that successfully apply variable-depth search to find solutions for mating problems in Japanese chess, called tsume shogi. Public...

Interpolation of triangle hierarchies
We consider interpolation between keyframe hierarchies. We impose a set of weak constraints that allows smooth interpolation between two keyframe hierarchies in an animation or, m...

Interactive Mesh Dragging with Adaptive Remeshing Technique
We propose a 3D mesh-dragging method useful for intuitive, efficient geometric modeling of free-form polygonal models. With our method, the user can drag a part of a triangular me...
