Recently, animations with deforming objects are frequently used in various Computer Graphics applications. Metamorphosis (or morphing) of three dimensional objects is one of techn...
Topological concepts and techniques have been broadly applied in computer graphics and geometric modeling. However, the homotopy type of a mapping between two surfaces has not bee...

One of the major limitations of HMM-based models is the inability to cope with topology: When applied to a visible observation (VO) sequence, HMM-based techniques have difficulty ...
Multiresolution shape representation is a very effective way to decompose surface geometry into several levels of detail. Geometric modeling with such representations enables flex...
The performance of part-based object detectors generally degrades for highly flexible objects. The limited topological structure of models and pre-specified part shapes are two ...
