Morphing is the process of changing one figure into another. Some numerical methods of 3D surface morphing by deformable modeling and conformal mapping are shown in this study. It is well known that there exists a unique Riemann conformal mapping from a simply connected surface into a unit disk by the Riemann mapping theorem. The dilation and relative orientations of the 3D surfaces can be link...

The paper is concerned with conceptual modeling of the new aircraft based on bionical forms. Search visual-graphic calculations of the model under development are presented. 3D modeling of aircraft constructional parts were carried out according to the detailed designs. For 3D surfaces modeling the Koons method is used. Rendering scenes of shaded 3D model of aircraft is presented.

With the rapid growth of available 3D models, fast retrieval of suitable 3D models has become a crucial task for industrial applications. This paper proposes a novel sketch-based 3D model retrieval approach which utilizes both global feature-based and local featurebased techniques. Unlike current approaches which use either global or local features, as well as do not take into account semantic ...

In this paper the main problems and the available solutions are addressed for the generation of 3D models from terrestrial images. Close range photogrammetry has dealt for many years with manual or automatic image measurements for precise 3D modelling. Nowadays 3D scanners are also becoming a standard source for input data in many application areas, but image-based modelling still remains the m...

Due to the wide diffusion of 3D printing technologies, geometric algorithms for Additive Manufacturing are being invented at an impressive speed. Each single step, in particular along the Process Planning pipeline, can now count on dozens of methods that prepare the 3D model for fabrication, while analysing and optimizing geometry and machine instructions for various objectives. This report pro...

Sketch-based 3D shape retrieval has become an important research topic in content-based 3D object retrieval. The aim of this track is to measure and compare the performance of sketch-based 3D shape retrieval methods based on a large scale hand-drawn sketch query dataset which has 7200 sketches and a generic 3D model target dataset containing 1258 3D models. The sketches and models are divided i...

According to an UNESCO survey, Italy accounts for more than half of the Cultural Heritage of the entire world. Italy’s Cultural Heritage therefore represents an enormous wealth not only for the country itself but also for the entire world and this asset should be preserved and documented for future generations and possibly used as source of revenues. Within the relevant methods of the Informati...

In markerless model-based tracking approaches image features as points or straight lines are used to estimate the pose. We introduce an analysis of parametrizations of the pose data as well as of error measurements between 2D image features and 3D model data. Further, we give a review of critical geometrical configurations as they can appear on the input data. From these results the best parame...

In this paper, efficient and generic tools for calibration and 3D reconstruction are presented. These tools exploit geometric constraints frequently present in man-made environments and allow camera calibration as well as scene structure to be estimated with a small amount of user interactions and little a priori knowledge. The proposed approach is based on primitives that naturally characteriz...

This paper presents a process combining range and intensity based techniques, in order to get better 3D models than those obtained using these techniques separately. The procedure needs an initial estimation for internal and external camera parameters for two or more intensity images. The technique uses passive triangulation to refine initial camera calibrations and ensure a good registration o...
