Convex hulls are fundamental objects in computational geometry. In moderate dimensions or for large numbers of vertices, computing the convex hull can be impractical due to the computational complexity of convex hull algorithms. In this…
Practically, for all real measuring devices the result of a measurement is a convolution of an input signal with a hardware function of a unit {\phi}. We call a spline to be {\phi}-interpolating if the convolution of an input signal with a…
Polygonal meshes are ubiquitous in the digital 3D domain, yet they have only played a minor role in the deep learning revolution. Leading methods for learning generative models of shapes rely on implicit functions, and generate meshes only…

This work is concerned with a representation of shapes that disentangles fine, local and possibly repeating geometry, from global, coarse structures. Achieving such disentanglement leads to two unrelated advantages: i) a significant…
