Abstract :
We introduce spherical triangular B-splines for closed shape representation, and discuss the shape reconstruction using our new model “winged B-snakes”, which are deformable surfaces coupled with active edges and junctions. We show the results of using the spherical winged B-snakes for simultaneous surface reconstruction and feature detection from range images or scattered 3D data
