In this paper we revisit local feature detectors/descriptors developed for 2D images and extend them to the more general framework of scalar fields defined on 2D manifolds. We pro...

Many successful feature detectors and descriptors exist for 2D intensity images. However, obtaining the same effectiveness in the domain of 3D objects has proven to be a more elusi...
We address the problem of curvature estimation from sampled smooth surfaces. Building upon the theory of normal cycles, we derive a definition of the curvature tensor for polyhed...
We propose a sweep-based approach to the freeform deformation of three-dimensional objects. Instead of using a volume enclosing the whole object, we approximate only its deformabl...
Texturing using a set of two dimensional image maps is an established and widespread practice. However, it has many limitations. Parameterizing a model in texture space can be ver...
