The convergence problem of the Laplace-Beltrami operators plays an essential role in the convergence analysis of the numerical simulations of some important geometric partial diff...
The computational cost of a collision detection (CD) algorithm on polygonal surfaces depends highly on the complexity of the models. A novel “locally refined” approach is intr...

We present a perception system, called Artisan, that semi-automatically builds 3-D models of a robot’s workspace. Range images are acquired with a scanning laser rangefinder an...

In this paper, we propose the utilization of a kd-tree based hierarchy as an implicit object representation. Compared to an octree, the kd-tree based hierarchy is superior in term...
In this paper, we propose a robust and efficient Lagrangian approach, which we call Delaunay Deformable Models, for modeling moving surfaces undergoing large deformations and topo...
