Recovering Shape Characteristics on Near-flat Specular Surfaces
We consider the problem of capturing shape characteristics on specular (refractive and reflective) surfaces that are nearly flat. These surfaces are difficult to model using tradit...

Adaptive mesh compression in 3D computer graphics using multiscale manifold learning
This paper investigates compression of 3D objects in computer graphics using manifold learning. Spectral compression uses the eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian of an object'...

Guided exploration of physically valid shapes for furniture design
Geometric modeling and the physical validity of shapes are traditionally considered independently. This makes creating aesthetically pleasing yet physically valid models challengi...

View Point Tracking of Rigid Objects Based on Shape Sub-manifolds
We study the task to infer and to track the viewpoint onto a 3D rigid object by observing its image contours in a sequence of images. To this end, we consider the manifold of invar...
