Zoomorphic Design

Presenting a method for creating zoomorphic shapes by merging a man-made shape and an animal shape. The method formulates the merging process as an optimization problem combining several design factors. A novel technique ensures that the zoomorphic shape does not violate the design restrictions of the man-made shape.

Shading-Based Refinement on Volumetric Signed-Distance Functions

A novel method to obtain fine-scale detail in 3D reconstructions generated with low-budget RGB-D cameras or other commodity scanning devices. This approach leverages RGB data to refine these reconstructions through shading cues, as color input is typically of much higher resolution than the depth data.

Real-Time Nonlinear Shape Interpolation

Introducing a scheme for a real-time nonlinear shape interpolation. The main feature is that the computational cost for interpolating in a set of shapes is independent of the resolution of the shapes.
