Making Burr Puzzles From 3D Models
A computational approach to creating burr puzzles from 3D models while enforcing a single-key property in the 3D puzzle-construction process. When the puzzle is assembled, all the pieces are notched except the key piece, which remains mobile.

A Geometric Study of V-Style Pop-Ups: Theories and Algorithms
We study a simple but common class of pop-ups: the v-style pop-ups. Conditions are given for a v-style paper structure to be pop-uppable. Based on these conditions, we developed an interactive tool for designing v-style pop-ups and an automated construction algorithm.

Depixelizing Pixel Art
A novel algorithm for extracting a resolution-independent vector representation from small pixel art images, which enables magnifying the results by an arbitrary amount without image degradation. Pixel-scale features are resolved and converted into regions with smoothly varying shading that are crisply separated by piecewise-smooth contour curves.

Digital Micrography
An algorithm for creating micrography images, or micrograms, a special type of calligram that utilizes miniscule text. Traditional micrograms represent images using readable meaningful text and require both artistic skills and a lot of manual work. This computerized digital micrography design tool simplifies the process.
