Variational, Meaningful Shape Decomposition
An algorithm for variational, meaningful shape decomposition based on a novel convexity metric. The algorithm doesn't require model-specific fine-tuning and operates on models with arbitrary genus.

Implementation Details of SmoothSketch: 3D Free-Form Shapes From Complex Sketches
Implementation of a system for inferring a 3D shape from complex contour drawings containing tee-junctions and cusps. This sketch discusses the implementation details underlying the SIGGRAPH 2006 Paper: SmoothSketch: 3D Free-Form Shapes From Complex Sketches.

Extracting Boolean Isosurfaces From Tetrahedral Meshes
The TBIso algorithm computes isosurfaces of volumetric CSG surfaces. Feature lines and corners are identified and extracted as poly-line networks and preserved during subsequent hierarchical smoothing and simplification.

Perception-Based Construction of 3D Models From Line Drawings
A perception-based 3D reconstruction from a single-view image. The method uses a two-pass approach to optimize the hinging-angle between adjacent polygons using several conceptual constraints.
