Feature detection is important in various mesh processing techniques, such as mesh editing, mesh morphing, mesh compression, and mesh signal processing. In spite of much research in computer vision, automatic feature ...

Patterns on real-world objects are often due to variations in geometry across the surface. Height fields and other common parametric methods cannot synthesize many forms of geometric surface texture such as thorns, scales, ...

We present a general-purpose numerical scheme for time integration of Lagrangian dynamical systems an important computational tool at the core of most physics-based animation techniques. Several features make this particular ...

Conventional 2D or 3D texturing methods do not permit an efficient simulation of highly complex structured textures like fire, fur, cotton, etc. More recent techniques, using specific kinds of 3D textures, such as hypertextures ...

A major challenge in feature matching is the lack of objective criteria to determine corresponding points. Recent methods find match candidates first by exploring the proximity in descriptor space, and then rely on a ...

Narrow, inextensible, and naturally flat ribbons have some special and interesting phenomena under isometric deformations. Although a ribbon has a shape between rod and shell, directly applying the geometric representation ...

Voxel-based approaches are today's standard to encode volume data. Recently, directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) were successfully used for compressing sparse voxel scenes as well, but they are restricted to a single bit of ...

We propose a new rate-distortion based algorithm for compressing 3D surface geometry represented using triangular normal meshes. We apply the Estimation-Quantization (EQ) algorithm to compress normal mesh wavelet coefficients. ...

We present a new data structure for object space partitioning that can be represented completely implicitly. The bounds of each node in the tree structure are recreated at run-time from the scene objects contained therein. ...
