Morse theory shows how the topology of an implicit surface is affected by its function’s critical points, whereas catastrophe theory shows how these critical points behave as th...
We present a new set of algorithms for line-art rendering of smooth surfaces. We introduce an efficient, deterministic algorithm for finding silhouettes based on geometric duali...
We describe and demonstrate an algorithm that takes as input an unorganized set of points fx1; : : : ; xng IR3 on or near an unknown manifold M, and produces as output a simplicia...

Modeling tasks, such as surface deformation and editing, can be analyzed by observing the local behavior of the surface. We argue that defining a modeling operation by asking for ...
We present a generic framework for compression of densely sampled 3D surfaces in order to satisfy the increasing demand for storing large amounts of 3D content. We decompose a giv...
