This work concerns the approximation of the shape operator of smooth surfaces in R3 from polyhedral surfaces. We introduce two generalized shape operators that are vector-valued l...

We present a method for the recovery of partially occluded 3D geometric primitives from range images which might also include non-primitive objects. The method uses a technique for...

Given a smooth surface, a blue (red) ridge is a curve such that at each of its points, the maximum (minimum) principal curvature has an extremum along its curvature line. Ridges a...

Principal curvatures and principal directions are fundamental local geometric properties. They are well defined on smooth surfaces. However, due to the nature as higher order di...

In this work we address the problem of computing pointbased surface approximations from point clouds. Our approach is based on recently presented methods that define the approxim...

— A shell is a body enclosed between two closely spaced and curved surfaces. Classical theory of shells [38], [33], [16] assumes a parametrization along the lines of principal cu...
