A geometric database for gene expression data
As the logical next step after sequencing the mouse genome, biologists have developed laboratory methods for rapidly determining where each of the 30K genes in the mouse genome is...

Stellar Subdivision Grammars
In this paper we develop a new description for subdivision surfaces based on a graph grammar formalism. Subdivision schemes are specified by a context sensitive grammar in which ...

Multi-Chart Geometry Images
We introduce multi-chart geometry images, a new representation for arbitrary surfaces. It is created by resampling a surface onto a regular 2D grid. Whereas the original scheme of...

Provably Good Surface Sampling and Approximation
We present an algorithm for meshing surfaces that is a simple adaptation of a greedy “farthest point” technique proposed by Chew. Given a surface S, it progressively adds poin...

CLODs: Dual Hierarchies for Multiresolution Collision Detection
We present “contact levels of detail” (CLOD), a novel concept for multiresolution collision detection. Given a polyhedral model, our algorithm automatically builds a “dual h...

Smooth Geometry Images
Previous parametric representations of smooth genus-zero surfaces require a collection of abutting patches (e.g. splines, NURBS, recursively subdivided polygons). We introduce a s...

Rotation Invariant Spherical Harmonic Representation of 3D Shape Descriptors
One of the challenges in 3D shape matching arises from the fact that in many applications, models should be considered to be the same if they differ by a rotation. Consequently, w...

Statistical Point Geometry
We propose a scheme for modeling point sample geometry with statistical analysis. In our scheme we depart from the current schemes that deterministically represent the attributes ...

Global Conformal Parameterization
We solve the problem of computing global conformal parameterizations for surfaces with nontrivial topologies. The parameterization is global in the sense that it preserves the con...
