SUMMARY:Mapping, Untangling & Summarizing Surfaces
DESCRIPTION:Implicit Minimal Surfaces for Bijective Correspondences\n\nWe 
 introduce an implicit representation of continuous, bijective, orientation
 -preserving maps between genus zero surfaces with or without boundary. The
  distortion of these maps can easily be minimized by optimizing the Ginzbu
 rg-Landau functional---a ubiquitous model in physics and differential geom

 lespie (INRIA, University of Utah)\n---------------------\nUntangling Surf
 aces via Shape and Mesh Repulsion\n\nWe present an energy-based framework 
 for removing self-intersections from surface meshes. A shape-level Gaussia
 n energy resolves global entanglement while a mesh-level Minkowski penalty
  handles local discrete degeneracies. Together, they eliminate all self-in
 tersections across benchmark datasets, ou...\n\n\nJiří Minarčík (Carnegie

 Medial Distance Field (Q-MDF): A Robust Method for Approximating and Discr
 etizing Neural Medial Axes\n\nWe introduce an implicit method for medial a
 xis extraction from point clouds and meshes, addressing challenges in nois
 y or incomplete data. By connecting the signed distance field and the medi
 al field, we reformulate the problem as implicit reconstruction, offering 
 a novel, robust solution for accur...\n\n\nJiayi Kong (S-Lab Nanyang Techn

 MAT: Clean and Scalable Medial Axis Simplification via Explicit Surface Co
