Title:  Discrete Surface Ricci Flow – Theoretical Foundation and  
Applications

Abstract: Ricci flow is a curvature flow method, which has been  
applied to the proof of the Poincare conjecture on three dimensional  
manifolds. We introduce Ricci flow to engineering fields. We  
generalize surface Ricci flow to discrete setting, and design  
algorithms of discrete surface Ricci flow based on a variational  
framework.
They have the potential for a wide range of applications in computer  
graphics, geometric modeling, vision, and medical imaging. We  
demonstrate their practical values by real applications.
