Approximating polyhedral objects with deformable smooth surfaces
We propose a method to approximate a polyhedral object with a deformable smooth surface, namely the t-skin defined by Edelsbrunner for all 0 < t < 1. We guarantee that they are homeomorphic and their Hausdorff distance is at most ε > 0. This construction makes it possible for fully automatic, smooth and robust deformation between two polyhedral objects with different topologies. En route to our...
متن کاملApproximation of Smooth Surfaces by Polyhedral Surfaces with Hidden Vertices
In R, one can construct polyhedral surfaces such that, for some point p not on the surface, none of the vertices of the surface is visible from p. For a given compact surface K and a point we study the relation between the set of partial-linear embeddings of K with hidden vertices into R and the set of embeddings of K whose image is a smooth manifold with at least one principal curvature pointi...
متن کاملRigidity of Polyhedral Surfaces
We study the rigidity of polyhedral surfaces using variational principle. The action functionals are derived from the cosine laws. The main focus of this paper is on the cosine law for a non-triangular region bounded by three possibly disjoint geodesics. Several of these cosine laws were first discovered and used by Fenchel and Nielsen. By studying the derivative of the cosine laws, we discover...
متن کاملInflating polyhedral surfaces
Can you have a non-convex polyhedron with a bigger volume than a convex polyhedron with the isometric surface? Imagine you start blowing air into a polyhedron with a bendable but non-stretchable surface. What can be said about the limiting shape? These are the key questions I will consider. I will start the talk by discussing the history of the problem, presenting examples, and surveying earlie...
متن کاملTight Submanifolds, Smooth and Polyhedral
We begin by defining and studying tightness and the two-piece property for smooth and polyhedral surfaces in three-dimensional space. These results are then generalized to surfaces with boundary and with singularities, and to surfaces in higher dimensions. Later sections deal with generalizations to the case of smooth and polyhedral submanifolds of higher dimension and codimension, in particula...
