This paper extends a recently proposed robust computational framework for constructing the boundary representation (brep) of the volume swept by a given smooth solid moving along a one parameter family h of rigid motions. ...

3D video retrieval is a challenging problem lying at the heart of many primary research areas in computer graphics and computer vision applications. In this paper, we present a new 3D human shape matching and motion retrieval ...

In the past years sophisticated automatic segmentation algorithms for various medical image segmentation problems have been developed. However, there are always cases where automatic algorithms fail to provide an acceptable ...

Low-cost RGB-D sensing technology, such as the Microsoft Kinect, is gaining acceptance in the scientific community and even entering into our homes. This technology enables ordinary users to capture everyday object into ...

Contour gradients have color contours that follow the shape of the path being filled. Existing algorithms cannot create them in a resolution- and scale-independent way, causing visible rendering artifacts if enlarged. We ...

Comparing points on 3D shapes is among the fundamental operations in shape analysis. To facilitate this task, a great number of local point signatures or descriptors have been proposed in the past decades. However, the ...

In this paper, we present and experiment a novel approach for retrieving 3D geometric texture patterns on 2D mesh-manifolds (i.e., surfaces in the 3D space) using local binary patterns (LBP) constructed on the mesh. The ...

Registration is a key step in the 3D reconstruction of real-world objects. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical method for the rigid registration of multiple views. The multiview registration problem is solved via ...

We introduce a novel and efficient simulation technique for generating physics-based skinning animations of skeleton-driven characters with full support for collision handling. Although physics-based approaches may use a ...

This work revisits the Shock Filters of Osher and Rudin [OR90] and shows how the proposed filtering process can be interpreted as the advection of image values along flow-lines. Using this interpretation, we obtain an ...
