Implicit surfaces offer special effects animators, graphic designers, CAD engineers, graphics
students, and hobbyists a new range of capabilities for the modeling of complex geometric …

We introduce new techniques for modelling with interpolating implicit surfaces. This form of
implicit surface was first used for problems of surface reconstruction and shape …

This paper describes a method for building interpolating or approximating implicit surfaces
from polygonal data. The user can choose to generate a surface that exactly interpolates the …

M-reps (formerly called DSLs) are a multiscale medial means for modeling and rendering
3D solid geometry. They are particularly well suited to model anatomic objects and in …

We introduce a noise-resistant algorithm for reconstructing a watertight surface from point
cloud data. It forms a Delaunay tetrahedralization, then uses a variant of spectral graph …

We present a fast, memory efficient algorithm that generates a manifold triangular mesh S
passing through a set of unorganized points PR 3. Nothing is assumed about the geometry …

This paper investigates the main issues related to the definition of abstraction tools for
deriving high-level descriptions of complex geometric models. Among the wide range of …

We introduce a method for extracting skeletal curves from an unorganized collection of
scattered data points lying on a surface. These curves may have a tree like structure to …

The article, based largely on fieldwork in Gulf countries and in Kerala, focuses on female
nurses from Kerala who have worked, are currently working or are preparing to work in Gulf …

We introduce a new method of creating smooth implicit surfaces of arbitrary manifold
topology. These surfaces are described by specifying locations in 3D through which the …
