ABSTRACT
In the automotive industry it is highly important that the exterior body panels be esthetically pleasing. One aspect of creating esthetically pleasing surfaces is to require that they be fair. In this paper we present a system which has proven useful for diagnosis of surface fairness problems. We describe how to choose a set of colors with perceptually uniform spacing, and also show the usefulness of a logarithmic scale for relating curvature to colors.

Surface Parameterization Using Riemann Surface Structure
ICCV '05: Proceedings of the Tenth IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision - Volume 2We propose a general method that parameterizes general surfaces with complex (possible branching) topology using Riemann surface structure. Rather than evolve the surface geometry to a plane or sphere, we instead use the fact that all orientable ...
