We present an algorithm for computing the distance between two free-form surfaces. Using line geometry, the distance computation is reformulated as a simple instance of a surface-...
In this paper, we propose a method for shape-similarity search of 3D polygonal-mesh models. The system accepts triangular meshes, but tolerates degenerated polygons, disconnected ...
Lworld is a computer graphics animation system based on L-systems, a parallel rewriting technique used primarily in computer graphics for plant modeling. Because rulebased program...
An active contour model for parametric curve and surface approximation is presented. The active curve or surface adapts to the model shape to be approximated in an optimization al...

In this paper we describe a fast and interactive model to simulate and control the fire phenomenon. We use a modified interactive fluid dynamics solver to describe the motion o...
Densely-sampled image representations such as the light field or Lumigraph have been effective in enabling photorealistic image synthesis. Unfortunately, lighting interpolation w...

Current visualization methods of volume angiograms are limited in their ability to display vessel connectivity and depth information readily available in the data set. In this wor...
We present the light field oracle, a novel mathematical concept for the acquisition, processing and representation of light fields. We first compute a hierarchical representati...
