This paper presents a new statistical model for detecting and tracking deformable objects such as pedestrians, where large shape variations induced by local shape deformation can ...
What does it mean for a deforming object to be "moving" (see Fig. 1)? How can we separate the overall motion (a finite-dimensional group action) from the more general de...
We present a physically-based system to simulate and control the locomotion of soft body characters without skeletons. We use the finite element method to simulate the deformatio...
Intuitive 3D surface control and deformation are crucial to CAD/CAM. To do this in a virtual environment, however, the technique must be very efficient. A common method for shape ...

This paper presents animated sweepers, a method for animating the space deformations called sweepers. This technique allows a user to animate the modeling of a shape, and to edit ...
