This paper presents work in progress and continues a project devoted to developing shape modeling system for surface generation and enhancement. A local mesh enhancement based on statistical characteristics of an initial triangle mesh is... more
A rational boundary Gregory patch is characterized by the facts that any n-sided loop can be smoothly interpolated and that it can be smoothly connected to an adjacent patch. Thus, it is well-suited to interpolate complicated wire frames... more
Recognizing 3D objects in the presence of noise, varying mesh resolution, occlusion and clutter is a very challenging task. This paper presents a novel method named Rotational Projection Statistics (RoPS). It has three major modules:... more
Symbolic computation of NURBS plays an important role in many areas of NURBS-based geometric computation and design. However, any nontrivial symbolic computation, especially when rational B-splines are involved, would typically result in... more
Experimental and theoretical investigations indicate particle shape and size influence biomass particle dynamics, including drying, heating rate, and reaction rate. Experimental samples include disc/flake-like, cylindrical/cylinder-like,... more
We propose two mechanisms that can be used to generate complex geometry: generalized subdivision and mesh-based parametrized L-Systems. Instead of using standard subdivision, which uses the same subdivision rule at each level of the... more
We have analyzed photometric lightcurves of 30 asteroids, and present here the obtained shapes, rotational periods and pole directions. We also present new photometric observations of five asteroids. The shape models indicate the... more

Mr. Mahmoodul Islam, Lecturer, Faculty of Engineering, for constant motivation and support during the course of our work in the last few months. We truly appreciate and value his esteemed guidance and encouragement from the beginning to... more
The creation of building and facility models is a tedious and complicated task. Existing CAD models are typically not well suited since they contain too much or not enough detail; the manual modeling approach does not scale; different... more
Computer-Aided Geometric Design modelers are now based on powerful mathematical curve and surface models, but there is still a considerable need for efficient tools to handle, analyze and modify these objects. Designing product shapes... more

Advances in digital design and fabrication technologies are leading toward single fabrication systems capable of producing almost any complete functional object. We are proposing a new paradigm for manufacturing, which we call Universal... more
Very large graphics models are common in a number of applications, and many di erent simplication methods have been recently developed. Some of them support the construction of multiresolution representations of the input meshes. On the... more
Industrial designers make sketches and physical models to start and develop ideas and concept designs. Such representations have advantages that they support fast, intuitive, rich, sensory exploration of solutions. Although existing tools... more
We present a new and efficient algorithm to accurately polygonize an implicit surface generated by multiple Boolean operations with globally deformed primitives. Our algorithm is special in the sense that it can be applied to objects with... more
Gothic architecture, and especially window tracery, exhibits quite complex geometric shape configurations. But this complexity is achieved by combining only a few basic geometric patterns. We present some principles of this long-standing... more
