Researchers developed an algorithm that can align two 3D shapes by mapping their volumes, which is more effective than other methods that align shapes by only mapping their surfaces. In computer ...

Spectral mapping, a powerful technique combining spectroscopy and microscopy over surfaces, allows researchers to visualize and analyze the spatial distribution of chemical and structural properties ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — In computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD), 3D objects are often represented by the contours of their outer surfaces. Computers store these shapes as “thin shells,” which ...
