Besides providing a unique archaeological assemblage that documents the early
emergence of complex behaviour in the human lineage, Border Cave (South Africa) is …

Endocasts (ie, replicas of the inner surface of the bony braincase) constitute a critical proxy
for qualifying and quantifying variations in brain shape and organization in extinct taxa. In …

In this paper, we survey illustrative rendering techniques for 3D surface models. We first
discuss the field of illustrative visualization in general and provide a new definition for this …

Feature curves are largely adopted to highlight shape features, such as sharp lines, or to
divide surfaces into meaningful segments, like convex or concave regions. Extracting these …

One of the most crucial debates in human paleoneurology concerns the timing and mode of
the emergence of the derived cerebral features in the hominin fossil record. Given its …

Despite the abundance of well-preserved crania and natural endocasts in the South African
Plio-Pleistocene cercopithecoid record, which provide direct information relevant to the …

The problem of fitting spline surfaces to triangular mesh models is of importance in computer-
aided design. Many fitting algorithms have been developed. This paper proposes several …

Key questions in paleoneurology concern the timing and emergence of derived cerebral
features within the human lineage. Endocasts are replicas of the internal table of the bony …

Surface registration, which transforms different sets of surface data into one common
reference space, is an important process which allows us to compare or integrate the …

In the analysis of archaeological finds, it is important for archaeologists to identify their style,
origin, period, etc. to allow their correct classification. In the digital era, the development of …
