We introduce a new 3D shape descriptor which maps the surface features onto an arbitrary template surface using mean-value interpolation. A compact numerical shape descriptor is e...
We define a parameterization for an n-holed tori based on the hyperbolic polygon. We model the domain using a manifold with 2n+ 2 charts, and linear fractional transformations for...
We present a theoretical framework and practical method for the automatic construction of simple, all-quadrilateral patch layouts on manifold surfaces. The resulting layouts are c...
3D surface classification is a fundamental problem in computer vision and computational geometry. Surfaces can be classified by different transformation groups. Traditional classi...
The use of polygonal meshes, especially triangle meshes, is manifold but a lot of algorithms require the mesh to be structured in a certain way and cannot be applied to an arbitra...
