Ontology Based Shape Annotation and Retrieval (2009)

Olga Symonova, Minh-son Dao, Giuliana Ucelli, Raffaele De Amicis

Abstract. In this paper, 3D shape retrieval methodology suited for search in special category of 3D shape is presented. The proposed approach employs a fully unsupervised segmentation algorithm to...

"Beyond the desktop, Out of the Office..." Designing Interactive Graphics Applications for Mobile Devices (2008)

Raffaele De Amicis, Luca Chittaro

The recent availability of increasingly powerful PDAs and mobile phones is making it possible to develop new applications based on interactive (2D as well as 3D) graphics. However, limitations of...

Form Features in Non-manifold Shapes: A First Classification and Analysis (2008)

Raffaele De Amicis, C. Crovetto, L. De Floriani, F. Giannini

During the industrial design process, a product model undergoes several analyses. One of the most common ones is the finite element analysis. This kind of analysis needs a simplified model, which can...

3D Scene Comparison using Topological Graphs (2008)

Raffaele De Amicis, L. Paraboschi, S. Biasotti, B. Falcidieno

New technologies for shape acquisition and rendering of digital shapes have simplified the process of creating virtual scenes; nonetheless, shape annotation, recognition and manipulation of both the...

Benefits of Innovative Technologies for "Territorial Communication": the Case of Study "Virtual Museum Net of (2008)

Raffaele De Amicis, Magna Graecia, P. A. Bertacchini, L. Mallamaci, E. Pantano

Territorial communication aims at giving visibility and recognizability to a particular territory by emphasizing its distinctive aspects. It does not only supply information, but it has also a...

Topological Descriptor for CAD Models with Inner Cavities (2008)

Olga Symonova, Minh-son Dao, Raffaele De Amicis, Giuliana Ucelli

The current work introduces an algorithm for constructing Reeb graph for CAD models and their inner cavities. The nodes of the graph represent areas of the manifold of the model where topological...

Integrated Modeling of Shape Semantics for Industrial Design (2008)

István T. Hernádvölgyi, Giuliana Ucelli, Christian Faisstnauer, Raffaele De Amicis, Fondazione Graphitech, Via F. Zeni

Abstract — Modeling with 3D shapes plays a significant role in Industrial Design. Therefore semantic processing and interpretation of shapes and surfaces in CAD environments is an important...

AMICIS R.: Shape segmentation for shape description (2007)

Olga Symonova, Raffaele De Amicis

In this paper we present a new approach for segmentation of 3D models. The goal of the proposed approach is the decomposition of a model into large simple and small complex components. The top-down...

Raffaele De Amicis, Fondazione Graphitech, Fondazione Graphitech, Dipl. Ing Martin Witzel, Fondazione Graphitech

A new area for the interdisciplinary combination of data mining and information visualization on various device types is currently emerging, called Visual Analytics. Visual Analytics are solutions...

Shape Semantics from Shape Context (2004)

István T. Hernádvölgyi, Giuliana Ucelli, Martin Witzel, Olga Symonova, Loris Delpero, Raffaele De Amicis, ...

Abstract. 3D models play an important role in many industrial applications. Therefore semantic processing for the purposes of comparing, cataloging and archiving shapes is a major concern. Most...
