Sampling points with blue noise spectral characteristics are best suited for antialiasing. Compared to Poisson disk sampling, Lloyd's relaxation scheme yields samples that ap...
Although useful in many applications, the medial axis transform (MAT) has a few fit-falls, one of which is its extreme sensitivity to the boundary perturbation. In this paper, we ...
Computational steering requires the coupling of simulation and visualization elements, but if the latter is targetted at general requirements, little or no information about the c...
This paper presents a new method for extracting cylinders from an unorganized set of 3D points. The originality of this approach is to separate the extraction problem into two dis...
This contribution presents a new class of MRF, that is inspired by methods of statistical physics. The new energy function assumes full-connectivity in the neighborhood system and...
Today, it is possible to acquire volume representations of the vessel structures in the brain. The selfadjusting probe, a new tool introduced in a previous paper, enables semi-aut...
Besides the static soft tissue prediction in surgery simulation, the estimation of postoperative facial mimics is another important criterion for the evaluation of surgery plannin...

When using triangle meshes in numerical simulations or other sophisticated downstream applications, we have to guarantee that no degenerate faces are present since they have, e.g....
Segmentation of range images has long been considered an important and difficult problem and continues to attract the attention of researchers in computer vision. In this paper we...
The Surface Octree (SO) is an extension of the Classical Octree used to maintain a decimated codification of a surface while preserving volume data information. Constrained by a r...
