One of the most salient haptic characteristics of objects is surface texture. Psychophysics studies have identified several key factors that affect perception of roughness during...
In the present paper, we address the problem of recovering the true underlying model of a surface while performing the segmentation. A novel criterion for surface (model) selection...
The spherical harmonic (SPHARM) description is a powerful surface modeling technique that can model arbitrarily shaped but simply connected 3D objects and has been used in many app...

Abstract. This paper presents a method to decompose a field of surface normals (needle-map). A diffusion process is used to model the flow of height information induced by a fi...
We introduce new techniques for modelling with interpolating implicit surfaces. This form of implicit surface was first used for problems of surface reconstruction [24] and shape ...
