Minimum-Link Paths Among Obstacles in the Plane
Given a set of nonintersecting polygonal obstacles in the plane, the link distance between two points s and t is the minimum number of edges required to form a polygonal path conn...

An Experimentally Verified Model of the Perceived 'Coldness' of Objects
In this paper, a numerical model of the thermal process of touching an object is described. The model takes into account the object geometry and temperature, the thermal parameter...

Skeletonization and Distance Transforms of 3D Volumes Using Graphics Hardware
We propose a fast method for computing distance transforms and skeletons of 3D objects using programmable Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). We use an efficient method, called dista...

Generation of Volume Meshes by Extrusion from Surface Meshes of Arbitrary Topology
An algorithm to generate volume meshes by extrusion from surface meshes of arbitrary topology is presented. The algorithm utilizes a three-step, advancing layer scheme to extrude ...
