This paper describes a new method for contouring a signed grid whose edges are tagged by Hermite data (i.e; exact intersection points and normals). This method avoids the need to ...

We present a technique for creating a digital elevation model (DEM) from grid-based contour data. The method computes new, intermediate contours in between existing isolines. Thes...
Contour lines from topographic maps are still the most common form of elevation data for the Earth’s surface and in the case of historical landscapes, they often are the only av...
We present a linear approach to the 3D reconstruction problem from occluding contours using algebraic surfaces. The problem of noise and missing data in the occluding contours extr...

We present a fast, topology-preserving approach for isosurface simplification. The underlying concept behind our approach is to preserve the disconnected surface components in cel...
