We present a real-time interactive 3D scanning system that allows users to scan complete object geometry by turning the object around in front of a real-time 3D range scanner. The incoming 3D surface patches are registered and integrated into an online 3D ...
Recent works have shown that 3D shape of non-rigid surfaces can be accurately retrieved from a single im- age given a set of 3D-to-2D correspondences between that image and another one for which the shape is known. However, existing approaches assume that ...
This paper presents a low rate progressive 3D mesh compression scheme for simple genus-zero 3D objects. The proposed scheme is based on signal representation using redundant expansions. 3D model representation is constructed using a Matching Pursuit algori ...
Currently, both congenital abnormalities and developmental problems of the bladder in children, and other dysfunctions in adults, require reconstructive surgery. Such correction involves transplant action of native tissues (such as gastrointestinal segment ...
The paper deals with computing frictional forceclosure grasps of 3D objects problem. The key idea of the presented work is the demonstration that wrenches associated to any three non-aligned contact points of 3D objects form a basis of their corresponding ...
This paper proposes a new method for the selection of sets of omnidirectional views, which contribute together to the efficient representation of a 3d scene. When the 3d surface is modelled as a function on a unit sphere, the view selection problem is most ...
This paper presents a progressive coding scheme for 3D objects, based on an overcomplete decomposition of the 3D model on a sphere. Due to increased freedom in the bases construction, redundant expansions have shown interesting approximation properties in ...
This paper addresses the fundamental problem of computing stable medial representations of 3D shapes. We propose a spatially adaptive classification of geometric features that yields a robust algorithm for generating medial representations at different lev ...
Recapitulating the spatial and temporal complexity of tissues or organs represents one of the biggest challenges in engineering tissue-like living constructs in vitro. Inkjet printing with its high positioning precision (±1μm) and reliable droplet generati ...
Breakthroughs in health care over the coming decades may well consist of cell based therapeutics, potentially allowing the repair and replacement of damaged tissues and organs. Recently developed induced pluripotency methods as well as advances in stem cel ...
