A conic of the Veronese surface in PG(5, 3) is a quadrangle. If one such quadrangle is replaced with its diagonal triangle, then one obtains a point model K for Witt’s 5–(12, ...
We convert any quad manifold mesh into an at least C1 surface consisting of bi-cubic tensor-product splines with localized perturbations of degree bi-5 near non-4-valent vertices....
Exponential increases in architectural design complexity threaten to make traditional processor design optimization techniques intractable. Genetically programmed response surface...
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is performed on the beating heart, through inter-costal ports. The two major limitations of these procedures are: selecting port locations for op...
We have developed a new approach for preoperative selection of points from a surface model for rigid shape-based registration. This approach is based on an extension of our earlier...
