Minimal surface is extensively employed in many areas. In this paper, we propose a control mesh representation of a class of minimal surfaces, called generalized helicoid minimal surfaces, which contain the right helicoid and catenoid as special examples. We firstly construct the Bézier-like basis called AHT Bézier basis in the space spanned by {1, t, sint, cost, sinht, cosht}, t∈[0,α], α∈[0,5π/2]. Then we propose the control mesh representation of the generalized helicoid using the AHT Bézier basis. This kind of representation enables generating the minimal surfaces using the de Casteljau-like algorithm in CAD/CAGD mod- elling systems.

Modifying the knots of a B-spline curve, the shape of the curve will be changed. In this paper, we present the effect of the symmetric alteration of four knots of the B-spline and the NURBS surfaces, i.e., symmetrical alteration of the knots of surface, the extended paths of points of the surface will converge to a point which should be expressed with several control points. This theory can be used in the constrained shape modification of B-spline and NURBS surfaces.

This paper presents the matrix representation for the hyperbolic polynomial B-spline basis and the algebraic hyperbolic Bézier basis in a recursive way, which are both generated over the space Ωn=span{sinht, cosht, tn-3, , t, 1} in which n is an arbitrary integer larger than or equal to 3. The conversion matrix from the hyperbolic polynomial B-spline basis of arbitrary order to the algebraic hyperbolic Bézier basis of the same order is also given by a recursive approach. As examples, the specific expressions of the matrix representation for the hyperbolic polynomial B-spline basis of order 4 and the algebraic hyperbolic Bézier basis of order 4 are given, and we also construct the conversion matrix between the two bases of order 4 by the method proposed in the paper. The results in this paper are useful for the evaluation and conversion of the curves and surfaces constructed by the two bases.

This paper presents a novel approach to consider optimal multi-degree reduction of Bézier curve with G1-continuity. By minimizing the distances between corresponding control points of the two curves through degree raising, optimal approximation is achieved. In contrast to traditional methods, which typically consider the components of the curve separately, we use geometric information on the curve to generate the degree reduction. So positions and tangents are preserved at the two endpoints. For satisfying the solvability condition, we propose another improved algorithm based on regularization terms. Finally, numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithms.

In this paper, we present the modeling schemes of a class of Bézier surface with negative Gaussian curvature over the rectangular domain and the triangular domain. We have proved that the surface over the rectangular domain is fully determined by the control points of the two opposed boundary curves, and the surface over the triangular domain is fully determined by the control points on the first and second layers. In particular, we can control the shape of the surface by the shape parameter, which increases the degree of freedom of surface modeling.

In this paper, we apply a multiple regression method based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to face data modelling. CCA is a factor analysis method which exploits the correlation between two high dimensional signals. We first use CCA to perform 3D face reconstruction and in a separate application we predict near-infrared (NIR) face texture. In both cases, the input data are color (RGB) face images. Experiments show, that due to the correlation between input and output signal, only a small number of canonical factors are needed to describe the functional relation of RGB images to the respective output (NIR images and 3D depth maps) with reasonable accuracy

An algorithm for traversing voxels along a 3D line using only integer arithmetic is presented. Two kinds of subdivision, namely non-unit space subdivision and non-square space subdivision, could be used. A 2D algorithm is first developed to find out the pixels a line passes through. Then based on it, an algorithm for traversing voxels along a 3D line in uniformly divided voxel space is proposed. Up to 3 voxels may be processed in one step and no accumulated error is made. The discriminator used in this algorithm is well refined, so that few calculations are required and the algorithm is simple and compact in form. Its comparison with existing voxel traversal algorithms shows that the new algorithm is not only free from accumulated error but also is the fastest.

In this paper active feature models are proposed. They utilize local texture features and a statistical shape model for the reliable localization of landmarks in images. They are related to active appearance models, but instead of modelling the entire texture of an object they represent image texture by means of local descriptors. The approach has advantages with complex image data like anatomical structures that exhibit high texture variation with limited relevance for the recognition of the object location. Experimental results and the comparison to AAMs on different data sets indicate that active feature models can improve search speed and result accuracy, considerably

This paper presents a method for the fully automatic surveying of cutaneous hemangiomas by means of a hemangioma segmentation and a ruler visible in the images. The algorithm computes the spatial resolution of an image. Hemangioma segmentation is accomplished by a single-layer perceptron classification by means of pixel color features. The algorithm was evaluated on a set of 120 images. It achieves satisfactory results on images with clearly visible, saturated hemangiomas
