Point clouds are one of the most primitive and fundamental surface representations. A popular source of point clouds are three dimensional shape acquisition devices such as laser ...
: We introduce a noise-resistant algorithm for reconstructing a watertight surface from point cloud data. It forms a Delaunay tetrahedralization, then uses a variant of spectral gr...

In this paper, we present the Symmetry Descriptors of a 3D model. This is a collection of spherical functions that describes the measure of a model's rotational and reflectiv...

We propose a metric for surface parameterization specialized to its signal that can be used to create more efficient, high-quality texture maps. Derived from Taylor expansion of s...

We propose a method for segmentation of 3D scanned shapes into simple geometric parts. Given an input point cloud, our method computes a set of components which possess one or mor...
Most 3D mesh generation techniques require simplification and mesh improvement stages to prepare a tetrahedral model for efficient simulation. We have developed an algorithm that ...
Numerous mesh algorithms such as parametrization, radiosity, and collision detection require the decomposition of meshes into a series of clusters. In this paper we present two no...
In this paper, we initiate a study of shape description and classification via the application of persistent homology to tangential constructions on geometric objects. Our techniq...

Providing a thorough mathematical foundation, multiresolution modeling is the standard approach for global surface deformations that preserve fine surface details in an intuitive ...
