Circles of Confidence for Multi‐Label Geometry Completion

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Inside–outside classification is widely used for geometry processing tasks such as surface reconstruction, geometry completion, and calculating signed distance fields. We introduce a new integral formulation of this problem, which assigns confidence scores that points are inside or outside, given incomplete boundary geometry.

Relationship between carina size and sternum morphology in birds reflects physical constraints of body size and flight style

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.

Eggshell surface and cross-section scanning electron micrographs of pigeon (P), budgerigar (B), munia (M), and canary (C’) eggs.

, 2019
The eggshell of pigeon, budgerigar, munia, and canary was divided into a mammillary layer (ML) and a palisade layer (PL). Budgerigar, munia, and canary eggs have many honeycomb vesicles in the organic matrix on the eggshell surface and in cross-section.
