This page shows a list of my research projects. Most of these projects have a publishable executable software or even a source code package. Some projects have source code not published, but available for research purposes upon request.

2.5D Building Modeling with Topology Control

Based on 2.5D building topology definition, we extend 2.5D dual contouring into a 2.5D modeling method with topology control, which preserves significant topology structures while the number of triangles is comparable to that of manually created models or primitive-based models.

2.5D Dual Contouring

A robust approach to creating building models from aerial LiDAR point clouds.

Automatic Urban Modeling

A complete system to create urban models from aerial LiDAR point clouds. Our system has the ability to seamlessly handle huge datasets with billions of points.

MendIT

A sketch-guiding topology editing software for 3D models. It can be also used as a topology noise removal tool.

TopoMender

A robust efficienct program for removing small handles in 3D models.
