Algebraic Curves That Work Better
An algebraic curve is defined as the zero set of a polynomial in two variables. Algebraic curves are practical for modeling shapes much more complicated than conics or su...

BSP Shapes
We discuss a shape representation based on a set of disconnected (planar) polygons. The polygons are computed by creating a BSP that contains approximately linear surface patches ...

Exploring Surface Characteristics with Interactive Gaussian Images (A Case Study)
The Gauss map projects surface normals to a unit sphere, providing a powerful visualization of the geometry of a graphical object. It can be used to predict visual events caused b...

Shape Reconstruction from 3D and 2D Data Using PDE-Based Deformable Surfaces
In this paper, we propose a new PDE-based methodology for deformable surfaces that is capable of automatically evolving its shape to capture the geometric boundary of the data and ...
