Traditional approaches for modeling a closed manifold surface with either regular tensor-product or triangular splines (defined over an open planar domain) require decomposing th...
A new method for three dimensional (3D) genus-zero shape classification is proposed. It conformally maps a 3D mesh onto a unit sphere and uses normal vectors to generate a spheric...
—This paper develops a novel surface fitting scheme for automatically reconstructing a genus-0 object into a continuous parametric spline surface. A key contribution for making ...
