Scientific

I conduct my research with my colleagues in the field of computer graphics. Software tools using CSFBF functions (applicable in various problems in computer graphics that require scattered data interpolation/extrapolation) were developed and I have made a special page describing this tools </csrbf/>. I have also made a several publication/presentations devoted to this subject and I continuously work on improving this tools and writing new publications also. This reasearch is a joint project between the Design-based production laboratory of The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of The Tokyo Institute of Technology (prof. I.Hagiwara) and The Computer Graphics Laboratory of The Hosei University (prof. V. Savchenko).
