Highly detailed geometric models are rapidly becoming common-place in computer
graphics. These models, often represented as complex triangle meshes, challenge …

Advances in 3D scanning technologies have enabled the practical creation of meshes with
hundreds of millions of polygons. Traditional algorithms for display, simplification, and …

This distinctly accessible introduction to wavelets provides computer graphics professionals
and researchers with the mathematical foundations for understanding and applying this …

In many applications the need for an accurate simplification of surface meshes is becoming
more and more urgent. This need is not only due to rendering speed reasons, but also to …

There are a variety of application areas in which there is a need for simplifying complex
polygonal surface models. These models often have material properties such as colors …

Wavelets have proven to be powerful bases for use in numerical analysis and signal
processing. Their power lies in the fact that they only require a small number of coefficients …

A surface light field is a function that assigns a color to each ray originating on a surface.
Surface light fields are well suited to constructing virtual images of shiny objects under …

This paper presents a technique for adapting existing motion of a human-like character to
have the desired features that are specified by a set of constraints. This problem can be …

Multiresolution analysis and wavelets provide useful and efficient tools for representing
functions at multiple levels of detail. Wavelet representations have been used in a broad …

We construct smooth parameterizations of irregular connectivity triangulations of arbitrary
genus 2-manifolds. Our algorithm uses hierarchical simplification to efficiently induce a …
