We use an indexing scheme to localize optimization to only contributing control points. These points are found and measured by using basis functions or by tracking subdivision mask operations. We demonstrate our framework on B-spline and Loop subdivision surfaces.","PeriodicalId":404708,"journal":{"name":"2010 Shape Modeling International Conference","volume":"30 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123207942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It takes a novel approach to the challenging problem of constructing high-quality quad-dominant mesh with anisotropic sampling. The method based on exploiting and analyzing principal curvature lines of the surface, which aimed to improve mesh structure and efficiency. Connectivity optimized is guaranteed by the natural orthogonality of principal curvature lines and geometric shape is maintained by minimizing the Hausdorff distance between original mesh and resulting mesh. The technique is straightforward to implement and efficient enough to be applied to real-world models.

In extended graph rotation systems, an edge is viewed as a paper strip that can be twisted. The sides of the paper strips provide ``two strands'' to construct weaving structures. Either these strands are ``parallel'' to the mesh edge for an ``untwisted edge'', or they both cross over the edge and over each other for a ``twisted edge''. If an arbitrary subset of edges of a mesh on an orientable surface is twisted in the same helical sense, then the EGRS induces a cyclic plain-weaving on the surface, which consists of cycles that cross other cycles (or themselves) by alternatingly going over and under. In this paper, we show that it is always possible to create a single-cycle plain-weaving starting from a mesh on an arbitrary surface, by selecting an appropriate subset of edges to be twisted. We also demonstrate how, starting from a mesh, to construct a large number of single-cycle plain-woven objects. Interestingly, the single-cycle solutions with a minimal number of edge twists correspond to plain-woven objects that are visually similar to Celtic knots. For converting plain-weaving cycles to 3D thread structures, we extend the original projection method, which previously worked only when all mesh edges are twisted. With the extension described here, our projection method can also be used to handle untwisted edges. We have developed a system that converts any manifold mesh into single-cycle plain-woven objects, by interactively controlling the proportion of edges that are twisted. The system also allows us to change the shapes of the threads with a set of parameters, interactively in real-time. We demonstrate here that by using this system, we can create a wide variety of single-cycle plain-woven objects","PeriodicalId":404708,"journal":{"name":"2010 Shape Modeling International Conference","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114586014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Discounted Cumulative Gain (DCG) value of each face is then calculated and stored for later utilization. To retrieve models in the testing database, we first forecast each face's DCG value by searching its most similar face's DCG value in training database, and then the top k faces with highest forecasted DCGs are selected as query input. A greedy algorithm is finally applied to get the total similarity. Experimental results show that our algorithm is superior or at least comparable to some of the most powerful methods in finding parts with similar functionality in most cases.","PeriodicalId":404708,"journal":{"name":"2010 Shape Modeling International Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127634780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem is that the basic level set method is implemented on a fixed resolution grid, which limits the utility of these shape modeling operations. We instead represent surfaces with a collection of radial basis function dipole pairs, and derive the motion of these dipoles to implement a surface propagation similar to the level set method but on a smooth, arbitrary resoluton model. We demonstrate the utility of this approach with new level set methods for surface fitting, blending and center redistribution for RBF dipole models.","PeriodicalId":404708,"journal":{"name":"2010 Shape Modeling International Conference","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129975433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Problematically, unusual parameterization can reproduce panoramas associated with other shapes. In this paper, we ensure an explicit link between surface shape and projection behavior by suggesting use of projection surfaces parameterized by arc-length, binding rendering behavior to surface modeling. This allows us to create new panorama variations beyond the conventional for creating panoramas of CG environments as well as for resampling panoramas created from cameras. Further we describe an interface for composing these panoramas and show how this technique lends itself to controlling distortion and composition of panoramic projections. Additionally we provide details on rendering these projections.","PeriodicalId":404708,"journal":{"name":"2010 Shape Modeling International Conference","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126257385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our approach is robust to noise and can handle moderate amounts of missing data, allowing skeleton-based manipulation of point clouds without explicit surface reconstruction. By avoiding explicit reconstruction, we are able to perform skeleton-driven topology repair of acquired point clouds in the presence of large amounts of missing data. In such cases, automatic surface reconstruction schemes tend to produce incorrect surface topology. We show that the curve skeletons we extract provide an intuitive and easy-to-manipulate structure for effective topology modification, leading to more faithful surface reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":404708,"journal":{"name":"2010 Shape Modeling International Conference","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126959323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper describes a methodological approach to make use of the existing iconographic corpus for the analysis and the 3D management of building transformations. Iconography is used for different goals. Firstly, it's a source of geometric information (image-based-modeling of anterior states); secondly, it's used for the re-creation of visual appearance (image-based texture extraction); thirdly it's a proof of the temporal distribution of shape transformations(spatio-temporal modeling); finally it becomes a visual support for the study of building transformations (visual comparison between different temporal states). The aim is to establish a relation between the iconography used for the hypothetical reconstruction and the 3D representation that depends on it.
