In magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF), abrasive grains as a tool move on surface and can remove chip from surface of work piece. In this study AL 6061 tube was considered as the work piece and the effect of finishing parameters such as gap distance between tube and poles, rotational speed of tube, abrasive ration and finishing time on surface roughness was investigated. The mixture of ferromagne...

It is well known that multi-surface segmentation can be cast as a multi-labeling problem. Different segments may belong to the same semantic object which may impose various inter-segment constraints [1]. In medical applications, there are a lot of scenarios where upper bounds on the Hausdorff distances between subsequent surfaces are known. We show that incorporating these priors into multi-sur...

The shapes easily modeled with commonly used implicit surfaces have tended to be curved (giving rise to the nick name blobs). The shapes most easily modeled with CSG tend to be angular. Complex models that required combinations of these two types of shapes can be achieved by combining the two approaches to modeling through a process such as the BlobTree [4]. However, blending between the di ere...

We introduce a new variational formulation for the problem of reconstructing a watertight surface defined by an implicit equation, from a finite set of oriented points; a problem which has attracted a lot of attention for more than two decades. As in the Poisson Surface Reconstruction approach, discretizations of the continuous formulation reduce to the solution of sparse linear systems of equa...

We present a surface compression method that stores surfaces as wavelet-compressed signed-distance volumes. Our approach enables the representation of surfaces with complex topology and arbitrary numbers of components within a single multiresolution data structure. This data structure elegantly handles topological modification at high compression rates. Our method does not require the costly an...

Implicit surfaces are often designed through the definition and addition of offset surfaces. These are typically defined using a skeleton of primitives such as points and lines. A predefined offset from the skeleton determines the surface. Implied in this commonly used technique is the computation of the distance from the skeleton. It is natural to use the Euclidean definition of distance. In t...
