Spectral Surface Reconstruction From Noisy Point Clouds
: We introduce a noise-resistant algorithm for reconstructing a watertight surface from point cloud data. It forms a Delaunay tetrahedralization, then uses a variant of spectral gr...

Symmetry Descriptors and 3D Shape Matching
In this paper, we present the Symmetry Descriptors of a 3D model. This is a collection of spherical functions that describes the measure of a model's rotational and reflectiv...

Signal-Specialized Parameterization for Piecewise Linear Reconstruction
We propose a metric for surface parameterization specialized to its signal that can be used to create more efficient, high-quality texture maps. Derived from Taylor expansion of s...

Shape Segmentation Using Local Slippage Analysis
We propose a method for segmentation of 3D scanned shapes into simple geometric parts. Given an input point cloud, our method computes a set of components which possess one or mor...

Two Algorithms for Fast Reclustering of Dynamic Meshed Surfaces
Numerous mesh algorithms such as parametrization, radiosity, and collision detection require the decomposition of meshes into a series of clusters. In this paper we present two no...
