About

K. Abegglen is a researcher in computational geometry and shape analysis, with a particular focus on curve morphing and symbolic representations. Their most cited work, "Curve morphing by weighted mean of strings" (2003, 19 citations), introduces an innovative approach that represents curves as strings—sequences of symbols—transforming the morphing problem into a weighted mean computation between two strings. This method allows for smooth, algorithmically-driven transitions between 2D curves, offering a novel alternative to traditional geometric interpolation techniques. By bridging symbolic computation with geometric modeling, Abegglen's contribution provides a foundation for applications in computer graphics, animation, and shape matching. Though their experimental work centers on 2D curves, the conceptual framework opens doors for extension to more complex shapes and higher dimensions. With 19 citations, this paper has influenced subsequent research in morphing and string-based shape representation, marking Abegglen as a thoughtful contributor to the intersection of discrete mathematics and visual computing.
