Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines have become the de facto standard in CAD/CAM and
computer graphics. This well-known book covers NURBS from their geometric beginnings to …

This work investigates the use of particle swarm optimization (PSO) to recover the shape of a
surface from clouds of (either organized or scattered) noisy 3D data points, a challenging …

In this paper, the novel design mode of human-aided design (HAD) is proposed to replace
conventional computer-aided design (CAD). In HAD, computers can automatically complete …

Surface reconstruction is a very challenging problem arising in a wide variety of applications
such as CAD design, data visualization, virtual reality, medical imaging, computer animation …

This paper presents an approximate method for making a set of NURBS curves of various
types compatible. The method is based on refitting input curves simultaneously on a …

Digital engineering relies on continuous and interoperable flow of data across the various
stages within the product lifecycle, which permits engineers to make more-informed …

This book provides an overview on the evolution of laser scanning technology and its
noticeable impact in the structural engineering domain. It provides an up-to-date synthesis of …

Three-dimensional reconstruction of general solid food materials was performed using a
reverse engineering method based on a surface cross-sectional design. Digital images of …

This paper presents a new approach for the sampling of sculptured surfaces using
continuous scanning coordinate measuring machine probe heads. This approach is based …

Recently, a new extension of the standard neural networks, the so-called functional
networks, has been described [E. Castillo, Functional networks, Neural Process. Lett. 7 …
