Shape is an important physical property of natural and manmade 3D objects that characterizes their external appearances. Understanding differences between shapes and modeling the variability within and across shape classes, hereinafter…

We revisit the design space of visualizations aiming at identifying and relating its components. In this sense, we establish a model to examine the process through which visualizations become expressive for users. This model has leaded us…

We present a conceptually simple and intuitive method to calculate and to measure the dissimilarities among 2D shapes. Several methods to interpret and to visualize the resulting dissimilarity matrix are presented and compared.

In recent years, the use of expressive surface visualizations in the representation of vascular structures has gained significant attention. These visualizations provide a comprehensive understanding of complex anatomical structures and are…

Perception research provides strong evidence in favor of part based representation of shapes in human visual system. Despite considerable differences among different theories in terms of how part boundaries are found, there is substantial…

The structural analysis of shape boundaries leads to the characterization of objects as well as to the understanding of shape properties. The literature on graphs and networks have contributed to the structural characterization of shapes…

The present work shows a novel fractal dimension method for shape analysis. The proposed technique extracts descriptors from the shape by applying a multiscale approach to the calculus of the fractal dimension of that shape. The fractal…

The rapidly evolving field of engineering design of functional surfaces necessitates sophisticated tools to manage the inherent complexity of high-dimensional design spaces. This survey paper offers a scoping review, i.e., a literature…

This paper presents a set of general strategies for the analysis of structure in amorphous materials and a general approach to assessing the utility of a selected structural description. Measures of structural diversity and utility are…

The basic problem of shape complementarity analysis appears fundamental to applications as diverse as mechanical design, assembly automation, robot motion planning, micro- and nano-fabrication, protein-ligand binding, and rational drug…

We propose a measure of shape which is appropriate for the study of a complicated geometric structure, defined using the topology of neighborhoods of the structure. One aspect of this measure gives a new notion of fractal dimension. We…

Data visualisation helps understanding data represented by multiple variables, also called features, stored in a large matrix where individuals are stored in lines and variable values in columns. These data structures are frequently called…

Real-life man-made objects often exhibit strong and easily-identifiable structure, as a direct result of their design or their intended functionality. Structure typically appears in the form of individual parts and their arrangement.…

Designing multiscale visualizations, particularly when the ratio between the largest scale and the smallest item is large, can be challenging, and designers have developed many approaches to overcome this challenge. We present a design…

A new methodological approach for the study of topology for shapes made of arrangements of lines, planes or solids is presented. Topologies for shapes are traditionally built on the classical theory of point-sets. In this paper, topologies…

Large-scale analysis of pedestrian infrastructures, particularly sidewalks, is critical to human-centric urban planning and design. Benefiting from the rich data set of planimetric features and high-resolution orthoimages provided through…

Accurate structural analysis is essential to gain physical knowledge and understanding of atomic-scale processes in materials from atomistic simulations. However, traditional analysis methods often reach their limits when applied to…

In this paper, we compute a conservative approximation of the path-connected components of the free space of a rigid object in a 2D workspace in order to solve two closely related problems: to determine whether there exists a collision-free…

This paper presents an explore-and-classify framework for structured architectural reconstruction from an aerial image. Starting from a potentially imperfect building reconstruction by an existing algorithm, our approach 1) explores the…

In previous work, we introduced a method for modeling a configuration of objects in 2D and 3D images using a mathematical "medial/skeletal linking structure." In this paper, we show how these structures allow us to capture positional…
