ON ESCHER’S SPIRALS Polygonization of 2-manifolds with boundaries

نویسنده

چکیده

An algorithm of polygonization of trimmed implicit surfaces yielding surface sheets is presented. These twodimensional manifolds with boundaries result from the set-theoretic difference of an implicit surface and a solid. The algorithm generates the polygonal approximation of the trimmed surface with the mesh adaptation to the manifold boundary.

Loxodromic Spirals in M. C. Escher's Sphere Surface

Loxodromic spirals are the analogues in spherical geometry of logarithmic spirals on the plane. M.C. Escher’s 1958 woodcut Sphere Surface is an image of black and white fish arranged along eight spiral paths on the surface of a sphere. By connecting the plane and spherical models of the complex numbers, we show that Sphere Surface is the conformal image on the sphere of a tessellation of fish o...

ACTION OF SEMISIMPLE ISOMERY GROUPS ON SOME RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS OF NONPOSITIVE CURVATURE

A manifold with a smooth action of a Lie group G is called G-manifold. In this paper we consider a complete Riemannian manifold M with the action of a closed and connected Lie subgroup G of the isometries. The dimension of the orbit space is called the cohomogeneity of the action. Manifolds having actions of cohomogeneity zero are called homogeneous. A classic theorem about Riemannian manifolds...

Non-Manifold Implicit Surfaces Based on Discontinuous Implicitization and Polygonization

Implicit surfaces in 3D geometric modeling are limited to two manifolds because the corresponding implicit fields are usually defined by real-valued functions which bisect space into interior and exterior. We present a novel method of modeling non-manifold surfaces by implicit representation. Our method allows discontinuity of the field function and assesses the special meaning of the locus whe...

Polygonization of Point Clusters through Cluster Boundary Extraction for Geographical Data Mining

Interpretability and usability of clustering results are of fundamental importance. A linear time method for transforming point clusters into polygons is explored. This method automatically translates a point data layer into a space filling layer where clusters are identified as some of the resulting regions. The method is based on robustly identifying cluster boundaries in point data. The clus...
