Soft Folding
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
We introduce soft folding, a new interactive method for designing and exploring thin-plate forms. A user specifies sharp and soft folds as two-dimensional(2D) curves on a flat sheet, along with the fold magnitude and ...
As-Rigid-As-Possible Distance Field Metamorphosis
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
Widely used for morphing between objects with arbitrary topology, distance field interpolation (DFI) handles topological transition naturally without the need for correspondence or remeshing, unlike surface-based interpolation ...
Global Selection of Stream Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
Stream surfaces are well-known and widely-used structures for 3D flow visualization. A single surface can be sufficient to represent important global flow characteristics. Unfortunately, due to the huge space of possible ...
Exploring Local Modifications for Constrained Meshes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
Mesh editing under constraints is a challenging task with numerous applications in geometric modeling, industrial design, and architectural form finding. Recent methods support constraint-based exploration of meshes with ...
Fast and Robust Approximation of Smallest Enclosing Balls in Arbitrary Dimensions
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
In this paper, an algorithm is introduced that computes an arbitrarily fine approximation of the smallest enclosing ball of a point set in any dimension. This operation is important in, for example, classification, clustering, ...
Sparse Iterative Closest Point
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
Rigid registration of two geometric data sets is essential in many applications, including robot navigation, surface reconstruction, and shape matching. Most commonly, variants of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm ...
Visualizing Robustness of Critical Points for 2D Time-Varying Vector Fields
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
Analyzing critical points and their temporal evolutions plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of vector fields. A key challenge is to quantify the stability of critical points: more stable points may represent ...
Towards Multifield Scalar Topology Based on Pareto Optimality
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
How can the notion of topological structures for single scalar fields be extended to multifields? In this paper we propose a definition for such structures using the concepts of Pareto optimality and Pareto dominance. Given ...
