Estimation of the principle curvatures of approximated surfaces
This paper presents a method for estimating curvature values of a surface, which is given only approximatively, e.g., by measured data. The presented method requires estimates of ...

The implicit structure of ridges of a smooth parametric surface
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...

Geodesic Evolution Laws---A Level-Set Approach
Motion of curves governed by geometric evolution laws, such as mean curvature flow and surface diffusion, is the basis for many algorithms in image processing. If the images to be ...

Deformations of general parametric shells: Computation and robot experiment
— 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...
