Robust principal curvatures using feature adapted integral invariants
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...

A sketching interface for feature curve recovery of free-form surfaces
In this paper, we present a semi-automatic approach to efficiently and robustly recover the characteristic feature curves of a given free-form surface. The technique supports a s...

Robust Voronoi-based curvature and feature estimation
Many algorithms for shape analysis and shape processing rely on accurate estimates of differential information such as normals and curvature. In most settings, however, care must...

Robust mesh reconstruction from unoriented noisy points
We present a robust method to generate mesh surfaces from unoriented noisy points in this paper. The whole procedure consists of three steps. Firstly, the normal vectors at points...

A geometric criterion for smooth interpolation of curve networks
A key problem when interpolating a network of curves occurs at vertices: an algebraic condition called the vertex enclosure constraint must hold wherever an even number of curves ...

Stable mesh decimation
Current mesh reduction techniques, while numerous, all primarily reduce mesh size by successive element deletion (e.g. edge collapses) with the goal of geometric and topological f...
