    • Automatic Registration for Articulated Shapes 

      Chang, Will; Zwicker, Matthias (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      We present an unsupervised algorithm for aligning a pair of shapes in the presence of significant articulated motion and missing data, while assuming no knowledge of a template, user-placed markers, segmentation, or the ...
    • Deformation-Driven Shape Correspondence 

      Zhang, H.; Sheffer, A.; Cohen-Or, D.; Zhou, Q.; Van Kaick, O.; Tagliasacchi, A. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      Non-rigid 3D shape correspondence is a fundamental and difficult problem. Most applications which require a correspondence rely on manually selected markers. Without user assistance, the performances of existing automatic ...
    • Dental Inlay and Onlay Construction by Iterative Laplacian Surface Editing 

      Steinbrecher, Tillmann; Gerth, Maik (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      We propose a new method for automatic construction of inlays and onlays. Mesh models from a small tooth library are adapted to the remaining healthy surface of the patient s tooth. In the area above the cavity, the general ...
    • Discrete Distortion in Triangulated 3-Manifolds 

      Mesmoudi, Mohammed Mostefa; De Floriani, Leila; Port, Umberto (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      We introduce a novel notion, that we call discrete distortion, for a triangulated 3-manifold. Discrete distortion naturally generalizes the notion of concentrated curvature defined for triangulated surfaces and provides a ...
    • Fast Parallel Construction of Smooth Surfaces from Meshes with Tri/Quad/Pent Facets 

      Myles, A.; Ni, T.; Peters, J. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
    • Fitting Sharp Features with Loop Subdivision Surfaces 

      Ling, Ruotian; Wang, Wenping; Yan, Dongming (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      Various methods have been proposed for fitting subdivision surfaces to different forms of shape data (e.g., dense meshes or point clouds), but none of these methods effectively deals with shapes with sharp features, that ...
    • G2 Tensor Product Splines over Extraordinary Vertices 

      Loop, Charles; Schaefer, Scott (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      We present a second order smooth filling of an n-valent Catmull-Clark spline ring with n biseptic patches. While an underdetermined biseptic solution to this problem has appeared previously, we make several advances in ...
    • Global Correspondence Optimization for Non-Rigid Registration of Depth Scans 

      Li, Hao; Sumner, Robert W.; Pauly, Mark (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      We present a registration algorithm for pairs of deforming and partial range scans that addresses the challenges of non-rigid registration within a single non-linear optimization. Our algorithm simultaneously solves for ...
    • Global Intrinsic Symmetries of Shapes 

      Ovsjanikov, Maks; Sun, Jian; Guibas, Leonidas (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      Although considerable attention in recent years has been given to the problem of symmetry detection in general shapes, few methods have been developed that aim to detect and quantify the intrinsic symmetry of a shape rather ...
    • Hierarchical Convex Approximation of 3D Shapes for Fast Region Selection 

      Attene, Marco; Mortara, Michela; Spagnuolo, Michela; Falcidieno, Bianca (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      Given a 3D solid model S represented by a tetrahedral mesh, we describe a novel algorithm to compute a hierarchy of convex polyhedra that tightly enclose S. The hierarchy can be browsed at interactive speed on a modern PC ...
    • A Hierarchical Segmentation of Articulated Bodies 

      De Goes, Fernando; Goldenstein, Siome; Velho, Luiz (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      This paper presents a novel segmentation method to assist the rigging of articulated bodies. The method computes a coarse-to-fine hierarchy of segments ordered by the level of detail. The results are invariant to deformations, ...
    • A Local/Global Approach to Mesh Parameterization 

      Liu, Ligang; Zhang, Lei; Xu, Yin; Gotsman, Craig; Gortler, Steven J. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      We present a novel approach to parameterize a mesh with disk topology to the plane in a shape-preserving manner. Our key contribution is a local/global algorithm, which combines a local mapping of each 3D triangle to the ...
    • Maximum Entropy Coordinates for Arbitrary Polytopes 

      Hormann, K.; Sukumar, N. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      Barycentric coordinates can be used to express any point inside a triangle as a unique convex combination of the triangle s vertices, and they provide a convenient way to linearly interpolate data that is given at the ...
    • Motorcycle Graphs: Canonical Quad Mesh Partitioning 

      Eppstein, David; Goodrich, Michael T.; Kim, Ethan; Tamstorf, Rasmus (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      We describe algorithms for canonically partitioning semi-regular quadrilateral meshes into structured submeshes, using an adaptation of the geometric motorcycle graph of Eppstein and Erickson to quad meshes. Our partitions ...
    • Non-Rigid Registration Under Isometric Deformations 

      Huang, Qi-Xing; Adams, Bart; Wicke, Martin; Guibas, Leonidas J. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      We present a robust and efficient algorithm for the pairwise non-rigid registration of partially overlapping 3D surfaces. Our approach treats non-rigid registration as an optimization problem and solves it by alternating ...
    • Pointwise radial minimization: Hermite interpolation on arbitrary domains 

      Floater, M. S.; Schulz, C. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      In this paper we propose a new kind of Hermite interpolation on arbitrary domains, matching derivative data of arbitrary order on the boundary. The basic idea stems from an interpretation of mean value interpolation as the ...
    • Polyhedral Finite Elements Using Harmonic Basis Functions 

      Martin, Sebastian; Kaufmann, Peter; Botsch, Mario; Wicke, Martin; Gross, Markus (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      Finite element simulations in computer graphics are typically based on tetrahedral or hexahedral elements, which enables simple and efficient implementations, but in turn requires complicated remeshing in case of topological ...

      Unknown author (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008)
    • Provably Good 2D Shape Reconstruction from Unorganized Cross-Sections 

      Memari, Pooran; Boissonnat, Jean-Daniel (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      This paper deals with the reconstruction of 2-dimensional geometric shapes from unorganized 1-dimensional cross-sections. We study the problem in its full generality following the approach of Boissonnat and Memari [BM07] ...
    • Reconstructing Animated Meshes from Time-Varying Point Clouds 

      Suessmuth, Jochen; Winter, Marco; Greiner, Guenther (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      In this paper, we describe a novel approach for the reconstruction of animated meshes from a series of time-deforming point clouds. Given a set of unordered point clouds that have been captured by a fast 3-D scanner, our ...
