There have been important recent advances in object recognition through the matching of invariant local image features. However, the existing approaches are based on matching to i...
The study of physical models for knots has recently received much interest in the mathematics community. In this paper, we consider the ropelength model, which considers knots tie...
Motivated by applications in architecture and manufacturing, we discuss the problem of covering a freeform surface by single curved panels. This leads to the new concept of semi-d...

Abstract. This paper describes how function-based shape modeling can be expanded to web visualization, as well as how web-based visualization can be greatly improved by using the f...
Recursive subdivision schemes have been extensively used in computer graphics and scientific visualization for modeling smooth surfaces of arbitrary topology. Recursive subdivisi...
