Surface gradients are useful to surface reconstruction in single view modeling, shape-from-shading, and photometric stereo. Previous algorithms minimize a complex, nonlinear energ...
A voxelization technique and its applications for objects with arbitrary topology are presented. It converts a free-form object from its continuous geometric representation into a ...
This work provides a generalization of the traditional response surface methodology (RSM) that can be applied to complex, multi-objective simulation studies. These problems involv...
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 describe two new shape operators that superimpose wrinkles on top of a smooth NURBS surface. Previous research studying wrinkles focused mostly on cloth modeling or in animatio...
