Inferring three-dimensional shapes from two-dimensional silhouettes
Although an infinity of three-dimensional (3-D) objects could generate any given silhouette, we usually infer only one 3-D object from its two-dimensional (2-D) projection. What are the constraints that restrict this infinity of choices? We identify three mathematical properties of smooth surfaces plus one simple viewing constraint that seem to drive our preferred interpretation of 3-D shape fr...
متن کاملThree-dimensional beta shapes
The Voronoi diagram of a point set has been extensively used in various disciplines ever since it was first proposed. Its application realms have been even further extended to estimate the shape of point clouds when Edelsbrunner and Mücke introduced the concept of α-shape based on the Delaunay triangulation of a point set. In this paper, we present the theory of β-shape for a set of three-dimen...
متن کاملDecomposing Three-Dimensional Shapes into Self-supporting, Discrete-Element Assemblies
This study investigates a computational design approach to generate volumetric decompositions of given, arbitrary, three-dimensional shapes into self supporting, discrete-element assemblies. These assemblies are structures formed by individual units that remain in equilibrium solely as a result of compressive and frictional contact forces between the elements. This paper presents a prototypical...
متن کاملThree - dimensional Alpha Shapes 1
Frequently, data in scientiic computing is in its abstract form a nite point set in space, and it is sometimes useful or required to compute what one might call the \shape" of the set. For that purpose, this paper introduces the formal notion of the family of-shapes of a nite point set in IR 3. Each shape is a well-deened polytope, derived from the Delaunay triangulation of the point set, with ...
متن کاملForming three-dimensional closed shapes from two-dimensional soft ribbons by controlled buckling
Conventional manufacturing techniques-moulding, machining and casting-exist to produce three-dimensional (3D) shapes. However, these industrial processes are typically geared for mass production and are not directly applicable to residential settings, where inexpensive and versatile tools are desirable. Moreover, those techniques are, in general, not adequate to process soft elastic materials. ...
