Meshes have become a widespread and popular representation of models in computer
graphics. Morphing techniques aim at transforming a given source shape into a target …

We present an object-space morphing technique that blends the interiors of given two-or
three-dimensional shapes rather than their boundaries. The morph is rigid in the sense that …

In this paper, we present a representation for three‐dimensional geometric animation
sequences. Different from standard key‐frame techniques, this approach is based on the …

Mesh vertices are usually represented with absolute coordinates. In some applications, this
leads to problems for local operations because of global misalignment. We investigate the …

Non‐rigid 3D shape correspondence is a fundamental and difficult problem. Most
applications which require a correspondence rely on manually selected markers. Without …

We present an unsupervised algorithm for aligning a pair of shapes in the presence of
significant articulated motion and missing data, while assuming no knowledge of a template …

We present a new approach to 3D shape metamorphosis. We express the interpolation of
two shapes as a process where one shape deforms to maximize its similarity with another …

BACKGROUND Conventionally, a 3D modeling and rendering process is used for
representing different views of a 3D scene. The usual steps in constructing a 3D model …

We describe a novel method for continuously transforming two triangulated models of
arbitrary topology into each other. Equal global topology for both objects is assumed …

Three-dimensional metamorphosis (or morphing) establishes a smooth transition from a
source object to a target object. The primary issue in 3D metamorphosis is to establish …
