Classically, isothermic surfaces are characterized as those surfaces which are "divisible into infinitesimal squares by their curvature lines". This characterization is the direct analogue to the definition of discrete isothermic nets. In…
This paper presents a spline-based parameterisation framework for plane graphs. The plane graph is characterised by a collection of curves forming closed loops that fence-off planar faces which have to be parameterised individually. Hereby,…

An isometry is a geometric transformation that preserves distances between pairs of points. We present methods to classify isometries in the Euclidean plane, and extend these methods to spherical, single elliptical, and hyperbolic geometry.…
We present a general method for computing local parameterizations rooted at a point on a surface, where the surface is described only through a signed implicit function and a corresponding projection function. Using a two-stage process, we…

We found a class of triangulated surfaces in Euclidean space which have similar properties as isothermic surfaces in Differential Geometry. We call a surface isothermic if it admits an infinitesimal isometric deformation preserving the mean…

Quadrilateral layouts on surfaces are valuable in texture mapping, and essential in generation of quadrilateral meshes and in fitting splines. Previous work has characterized such layouts as a special metric on a surface or as a meromorphic…

Isothermic surfaces are surfaces which allow a conformal curvature line parametrisation. They form an integrable system, and Darboux transforms of isothermic surfaces obey Bianchi permutability: for two distinct spectral parameters the…
We study the topological configurations of the lines of principal curvature, the asymptotic and characteristic curves on a cuspidal edge, in the domain of a parametrization of this surface as well as on the surface itself. Such…
We propose a unified method to visualize curvature on planar curves and surfaces of revolution using the tangential angle parameter. For plane curves, placing markers at equal increments of the tangential angle reveals local bending…
Embedding diagrams have been used extensively to visualize the properties of curved space in Relativity. We introduce a new kind of embedding diagram based on the {\it extrinsic} curvature (instead of the intrinsic curvature). Such an…

Mapping a shape to some parametric domain is a fundamental tool in graphics and scientific computing. In practice, a map between two shapes is commonly represented by two meshes with same connectivity and different embedding. The standard…
