For subdivision surfaces, it is important to characterize local shape near flat spots and points where the surface is not twice continuously differentiable. Applying general princ...
This paper presents an efficient and homogeneous paradigm for automatic acquisition and recognition of nonparametric shapes. Acquisition time varies from linear to cubic in the nu...
Many model editing operations, such as morphing, blending, and shape deformation, require the ability to interactively transform the surface of a model in response to some control...
This paper presents a new shape registration algorithm that establishes "meaningful correspondence" between objects, in that it preserves the local shape correspondence ...

This paper presents a novel 3D shape descriptor "The Generalized Shape Distributions" for effective shape matching and analysis, by taking advantage of both local and gl...
3D mesh models generated with range scanner or video images often have holes due to many occlusions by other objects and the object itself. This paper proposes a novel method to f...
This paper presents a shape representation and a variational framework for the construction of diffeomorphisms that establish "meaningful" correspondences between images...
