Robust mesh reconstruction from unoriented noisy points
We present a robust method to generate mesh surfaces from unoriented noisy points in this paper. The whole procedure consists of three steps. Firstly, the normal vectors at points...

A geometric criterion for smooth interpolation of curve networks
A key problem when interpolating a network of curves occurs at vertices: an algebraic condition called the vertex enclosure constraint must hold wherever an even number of curves ...

Stable mesh decimation
Current mesh reduction techniques, while numerous, all primarily reduce mesh size by successive element deletion (e.g. edge collapses) with the goal of geometric and topological f...

Exact Delaunay graph of smooth convex pseudo-circles: general predicates, and implementation for ellipses
We examine the problem of computing exactly the Delaunay graph (and the dual Voronoi diagram) of a set of, possibly intersecting, smooth convex pseudo-circles in the Euclidean pla...
