Feedback is regarded as one of the most important influences on student learning and motivation. But standard compiler feedback is designed for experts - not novice programming students, who can find it difficult to interpret and understand. In this...

Active Contour Projection for Mesh Segmentation (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Yang, F., Li, F., & Lau, R. (2009). Active Contour Projection for Mesh Segmentation. In Joint Conferences on Pervasive Computing (JCPC), 2009 ; Tamsui, Taipei, Taiwan, 3 - 5 Dec. 2009 ; [including two conferences and three workshops] (865-874). https://doi.org/10.1109/jcpc.2009.5420066

Active contour methods can be used to segment a 3D mesh into parts by iteratively moving the contour to the mesh region that minimizes the contour energy. However, as the contour moves, it often does not lie on the mesh surface. To address this probl... Read More about Active Contour Projection for Mesh Segmentation.
