Guaranteeing the topology of an implicit surface polygonization for interactive modeling
Morse theory shows how the topology of an implicit surface is affected by its function’s critical points, whereas catastrophe theory shows how these critical points behave as th...

Optimal triangulation and quadric-based surface simplification
Many algorithms for reducing the number of triangles in a surface model have been proposed, but to date there has been little theoretical analysis of the approximations they produ...

Recognizing 3D Objects Using Tactile Sensing and Curve Invariants
A general paradigm for recognizing 3D objects is offered, and applied to some geometric primitives (spheres, cylinders, cones, and tori). The assumption is that a curve on the surf...

Guaranteed Quality Triangulation of Molecular Skin Surfaces
We present an efficient algorithm to mesh the macromolecules surface model represented by the skin surface defined by Edelsbrunner. Our algorithm overcomes several challenges resi...
