The algorithms for computing a shortest path on a polyhedral surface are slow, complicated, and numerically unstable. We have developed and implemented a robust and efficient algo...

Fat conic section and fat conic spline are defined. With well established properties of fat conic splines, the problem of approximating a ruled surface by a tangent smooth cone sp...
We introduce an algorithm for approximating a 2manifold 3D mesh by a set of developable surfaces. Each developable surface is a generalized cylinder represented as a strip of tria...
