Edge detection and image segmentation algorithms usually operate on an image to extract geometrical information based on pixel colors. For ray-traced images, the presence of geomet...
While existing methods for 3D surface approximation use local geometric properties, we propose that more intuitive results can be obtained by considering global shape properties s...
The aim of mathematics mechanization is to develop symbolic algorithms for manipulating mathematical objects, proving and discovering theorems in a mechanical way. This paper gives...
The role of computers and of computer-aided design tools for the creation of geometrical shapes that will be judged primarily by aesthetic ations is reviewed. Examples are the pro...
We present a simple technique to improve the perception of an object's shape. Bump mapping is well known in the computer graphics community for providing the impression of sm...
