PhD Theses
3D Geological Modeling from Concept Sketches and Annotations
Ronan Amorim, 2017.
Sketched version of real geological map of the region of Moorfield, West Virginia, United States, compared to real map and cross-section.
Multidimensional Projection Visualization: Control-points Selection and Inverse Projection Exploration
Elisa Portes dos Santos Amorim, 2016.
Given a multidimensional dataset, a multidimensional projection maps the data into a projection space. Inverse projection operates in the other direction.

Simulated red mulberry leaves (Morus Rubra).
Smooth Reverse Subdivision
Javad Sadeghi, 2013.
Multiresolution mesh editing: (a) A mesh with 4960 faces. (b) Second decomposition level of the mesh using smooth reverse Catmull–Clark subdivision. (c) Editing operations applied to the coarse mesh. (d) The reconstructed model preserves the overall structure of the edited vertices.
