Propagation of Geometric Tolerance Zones in 3D
This paper considers error propagation in three dimensional geometric constructions using a geometric approach. First, we present definitions and constructions of tolerance zones ...

Segmenting Periodic Reliefs on Triangle Meshes
Decorative reliefs are widely used for e.g. packaging and porcelain design. In periodic reliefs, the relief repeats a pattern, for example all the way around an underlying surface...

Discrete Surface Ricci Flow: Theory and Applications
Conformal geometry is in the core of pure mathematics. Conformal structure is more flexible than Riemaniann metric but more rigid than topology. Conformal geometric methods have p...

Implicit Boundary Control of Vector Field Based Shape Deformations
We present a shape deformation approach which preserves volume, prevents self-intersections and allows for exact control of the deformation impact. The volume preservation and prev...

Scattered Data Fitting on Surfaces Using Projected Powell-Sabin Splines
We present C1 methods for either interpolating data or for fitting scattered data associated with a smooth function on a two-dimensional smooth manifold Ω embedded into R3 . The ...

Discrete Harmonic Functions from Local Coordinates
Abstract. In this work we focus on approximations of continuous harmonic functions by discrete harmonic functions based on the discrete Laplacian in a triangulation of a point set....

Regularity Criteria for the Topology of Algebraic Curves and Surfaces
In this paper, we consider the problem of analysing the shape of an object defined by polynomial equations in a domain. We describe regularity criteria which allow us to determine...
