Motivation
Fold and Cut Example
Contribution• We present a general computational
formalization of this particular art form for the first time.
• We combine the analysis and synthesis of a papercut pattern into one automatic process, as well as the generation of a physically feasible folding plan.

Dihedral and Frieze detection• Rules for Dihedral
Groups– Folds intersect at
common point– Folds have
correct angular spacing
• Rules for Frieze Pattern– Folds have
uniform pixel spacing
– Folds are parallel
