Abstract Recently, Gu et al. [2002] introduced geometry images, in which geometry is resampled into a completely regular 2D grid. The process involves cutting the surface into a disk using a network of cut paths, and then mapping the boundary of this disk to a square.

A Message from Galileo Galilei (1564-1642
Hi, I am an Italian scientist raised in Pisa during the late
Renaissance period. Galileo was my first name. At that time
in Italy, "famous" people were called by their first names
instead of their family names. People say I laid the
foundations of modern science.
Following advice from my father, who was a music and
mathematics teacher, I enrolled in a medical course at the
University of Pisa. I became, however, totally absorbed in
mathematics, instead of medical science. Do you know that
the "Isochronism of the Pendulum" principle, which you learn
at high school, is one of my findings? Finally I quit the
university.
While working as a private teacher to rear my younger brothers and sisters, I kept
doing research. At the age of 25, my first paper was published and was well accepted,
and I was invited to be a Lecturer at the University of Pisa. My father died 2 years
later.
Twenty years before I was born, Copernicus published the Copernican theory that
our Earth, not the stars in the sky, is moving. But, people hardly believed this theory
because what we see in daily life is that the sun rises from the eastern horizon and
goes down in the west.
Among other findings of mine are Jupiter's four satellites, craters on the moon's
surface, and waxing and waning of the moon, all from observations with a Galilean
telescope. These discoveries cast questions on the astronomy
of that time, as proof of the heliocentric theory. My discovery
of the sunspots was criticized by the advocates who said "what
a shame to insist that there are spots on the perfect sun!" I
had to face the Inquisition several times. When Newton, who
was born in the year of my death, established the dynamics by
combining my findings, I felt my efforts were rewarded.
Because of long-time observations of the sun with the naked
eye, my retinas were damaged, and I became blind. My later
papers were written by dictation.
To the mysterious glow in the sky I gave the name "aurora"
after the Roman goddess of dawn. In 1621, a fabulous aurora
showed up in Venice. Even though I had seen auroras several
times, that was the one I could never forget. I did not have the
slightest idea that the origin of auroras is with the sunspots
that I found myself! It was not until 200 years later that
Leaning Tower of Pisapeople became to know the true scenario for the generation of
auroras.
