Subdivision surfaces have been widely used in computer graphics and can be classified into two categories, approximating and interpolatory. Representative approximating schemes are Catmull-Clark (quad) and Loop (triangular). ...

We present a system which can automatically generate a realistic garment model from two images of an existing garment. Without the requirement of tailoring expertise and tedious operation, our method takes the front and ...

Friction is a complex phenomenon that resists tangential motion between two contacting objects. In computer graphics, existing cloth simulation methods have typically used a Coulomb model for friction, both static and ...

Shape descriptor design is an important but challenging problem for non-rigid 3D shape retrieval. Recently, bagof- words based methods are widely used to integrate a model's local shape descriptors into a global histogram. ...

Modern Computer Graphics applications commonly feature very large virtual environments and diverse characters which perform different kinds of motions. To accelerate path planning in such scenario, we propose subregion ...

How to deal with missing data is one of the recurring questions in data analysis. The handling of significant missing data is a challenge. In this paper, we are interested in the problem of 3D shape retrieval where the ...

Advances in sensor technology lead to a rapidly growing number of terrain data sets with very high spatial resolution. To allow reliable visual analysis of this data, terrain data for planetary objects needs to be rendered ...

This paper defines an intelligent and interactive framework to classify multiple regions of interest from the original data on demand, without requiring any preprocessing or previous segmentation. The proposed intelligent ...

Physically plausible deformable models based on continuum mechanics have been a hot topic in computer graphics for decades, and many models have been proposed to improve performance speed and stability. However, most of ...

This paper proposes a geometric iteration algorithm for computing point projection and inversion on surfaces based on local biarc approximation. The iteration begins with initial estimation of the projection of the prescribed ...
