Computing Extremal Quasiconformal Maps
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Conformal maps are widely used in geometry processing applications. They are smooth, preserve angles, and are locally injective by construction. However, conformal maps do not allow for boundary positions to be prescribed. ... -
Fast and Robust Normal Estimation for Point Clouds with Sharp Features
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)This paper presents a new method for estimating normals on unorganized point clouds that preserves sharp features. It is based on a robust version of the Randomized Hough Transform (RHT). We consider the filled Hough ... -
From A Medial Surface To A Mesh
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Medial surfaces are well-known and interesting surface skeletons. As such, they can describe the topology and the geometry of a 3D closed object. The link between an object and its medial surface is also intuitively ... -
Shape-Up: Shaping Discrete Geometry with Projections
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)We introduce a unified optimization framework for geometry processing based on shape constraints. These constraints preserve or prescribe the shape of subsets of the points of a geometric data set, such as polygons, one-ring ... -
Smooth Shape-Aware Functions with Controlled Extrema
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Functions that optimize Laplacian-based energies have become popular in geometry processing, e.g. for shape deformation, smoothing, multiscale kernel construction and interpolation. Minimizers of Dirichlet energies, or ... -
Soft Maps Between Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)The problem of mapping between two non-isometric surfaces admits ambiguities on both local and global scales. For instance, symmetries can make it possible for multiple maps to be equally acceptable, and stretching, slippage, ... -
Stream Surface Parametrization by Flow-Orthogonal Front Lines
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)The generation of discrete stream surfaces is an important and challenging task in scientific visualization, which can be considered a particular instance of geometric modeling. The quality of numerically integrated stream ... -
Tessellation-Independent Smooth Shadow Boundaries
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)We propose an efficient and light-weight solution for rendering smooth shadow boundaries that do not reveal the tessellation of the shadow-casting geometry. Our algorithm reconstructs the smooth contours of the underlying ...
