This paper describes the foundations and algorithms of a new probabilistic roadmap (PRM) planner that is: (1) singlequery –i.e., it does not pre-compute a roadmap, but uses the ...
The usefulness of the 3D Medial Axis (MA) is dependent on both the availability of accurate and stable methods for computing individual MA points and on schemes for deriving the l...
This paper describes a novel system for 3D head tracking under partial occlusion from 2D monocular image sequences. In this system, The Extended Superquadric (ESQ) is used to gene...
This paper introduces and presents a solution to the “Escherization” problem: given a closed figure in the plane, find a new closed figure that is similar to the original a...
We present a sketching interface for quickly and easily designing freeform models such as stuffed animals and other rotund objects. The user draws several 2D freeform strokes inte...
