A method to approximate scanned data points with a B-spline surface is presented. The data
are assumed to be organized in the form of Q i, j, i= 0,…, n; j= 0,…, mi, ie, in a row-wise …

Animating human-like characters is a recurring issue in computer graphics. Recently,
capturing live motion has become one of the most promising technologies in character …

This paper presents a statistical methodology for exerting control over adaptive surface
meshes. The goal is to develop an adaptive mesh which uses split and merge operations to …

A method and apparatus for approximating shape data in which the degree of fineness of a
desired portion is set so as to differ from that of other portions for hierarchical approximation …

An algorithm for the automatic reconstruction of triangular mesh surface model form range
images is presented. The optimal piecewise linear surface approximation problem is defined …

Distortion of normal vectors when approximating shape data with normal vectorS is
restrained. At Step ST1, original polygon date is input. At Step ST2, each edge is evaluated …

La réalité virtuelle représente aujourd'hui une technologie à part entière puisqu'elle autorise
la simulation, la navigation et l'interaction avec un univers sensoriel synthétisé de toutes …

Laser scanners are being widely used for many applications, including industrial design,
animation, anthropology, and medicine. A laser scanning system can be set up to acquire …
