An explicit spline representation of smooth free-form surfaces is combined with a hierarchy of meshes to form the basis of an interactive sculpting environment. The environment of...
Assessing the reliability of a software system has always been an elusive target. A program may work very well for a number of years and this same program may suddenly become quit...
Computing multidimensional aggregates in high dimensions is a performance bottleneck for many OLAP applications. Obtaining the exact answer to an aggregation query can be prohibit...
Nearly all major commercial computer-aided design systems have adopted a feature-based design approach to solid modeling. Models are created via a sequence of operations which app...
Subdivision surfaces have been extensively used to model smooth shapes of arbitrary topology. Recursive subdivision on an userdefined initial control mesh generates a visually pl...
