Meshes have become a widespread and popular representation of models in computer
graphics. Morphing techniques aim at transforming a given source shape into a target …

Curve-skeletons are thinned 1D representations of 3D objects useful for many visualization
tasks including virtual navigation, reduced-model formulation, visualization improvement …

The last half century has seen the development of many biological or physical t-ories that
have explicitly or implicitly involved medial descriptions of objects and other spatial entities …

Representing a 3D shape by a set of 1D curves that are locally symmetric with respect to its
boundary (ie, curve skeletons) is of importance in several machine intelligence tasks. This …

Within image analysis the distance transform has many applications. The distance transform
measures the distance of each object point from the nearest boundary. For ease of …

In a previous work, we have proposed a morphing method based on invertible and stable
descriptors that are invariant to Euclidean transformations and to the starting point. The …

As one of the essential components of the fossil record, shells of molluscs provide crucial
data for taxonomic, phylogenetic or evolutionary studies. The mollusc shell has often very …

In this paper, we present a new technique based on strain fields to carry out 3D shape
morphing for applications in computer graphics and related areas. Strain is an important …

When representing a solid object there are alternatives to the use of traditional explicit
(surface meshes) or implicit (zero crossing of implicit functions) methods. Skeletal …

Volume rendering has long been used as a key technique for volume data visualization,
which works by using a transfer function to map color and opacity to each voxel. Many …
