Two-dimensional modelling of transient capillary driven damped micro-oscillations and self-alignment of objects in microassembly

In the fields of microgripping and microassembly, the self-alignment motion of a solid micro-object linked by a liquid meniscus to a substrate or a tool is an inexpensive way to overcome the current limitations of the assembly processes at microscale by ge ...

Spherical cap harmonic analysis (SCHA) for characterising the morphology of rough surface patches

Katrin Beyer, Mahmoud S. M. Shaqfa

We use spherical cap harmonic (SCH) basis functions to analyse and reconstruct the morphology of scanned genus-0 rough surface patches with open edges. We first develop a novel one-to-one conformal mapping algorithm with minimal area distortion for paramet ...

Infinitesimal asphericity changes the universality of the jamming transition

Matthieu Wyart, Carolina Brito Carvalho dos Santos

The jamming transition of non-spherical particles is fundamentally different from the spherical case. Non-spherical particles are hypostatic at their jamming points, while isostaticity is ensured in the case of the jamming of spherical particles. This stru ...

Graph-based regularization of inverse problems in imaging

Mattia Rossi

As of today, the extension of the human visual capabilities to machines remains both a cornerstone and an open challenge in the attempt to develop intelligent systems. On the one hand, the development of more and more sophisticated imaging devices, capable ...

Spherical Clustering of Users Navigating 360° Content

Pascal Frossard, Francesca De Simone, Laura Toni

In Virtual Reality (VR) applications, understanding how users explore the omnidirectional content is important to optimize content creation, to develop user-centric services, or even to detect disorders in medical applications. Clustering users based on th ...

Specification of aspherical surfaces used as refractive elements in micro-optical systems

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Jeremy Béguelin

The optical performance of refractive plano-convex microlenses is mainly related to the quality of their (a)spherical surface. An efficient tolerancing of this surface is a key step towards the manufacturing of high quality microlenses. However, we demonst ...

Graph-Based Detection of Seams In 360-Degree Images

Pascal Frossard, Francesca De Simone, Sohyeong Kim, Roberto Gerson De Albuquerque Azevedo

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to detect a specific kind of distortions, referred to as seams, which commonly occur when a 360-degree image is represented in planar domain by projecting the sphere to a polyhedron, e.g, via the Cube Map (CM) project ...

Spherical Network Visualizations

Dario Rodighiero

Data visualization is a recent domain that founds his roots in the eighties, but its history dates back to more ancient times in other representations such as diagrams, drawings, or maps. In particular, data visualization is hard to take advantage of the h ...

Rayleigh-Taylor instability under a spherical substrate

François Gallaire, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, David Minh-Phuc Nguyen

We investigate the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a thin viscous film coating the inside of a spherical substrate. The aim of this work is to find and characterize the instability pattern in this spherical geometry. In contrast to the Rayleigh-Taylor insta ...

Rate Distortion Optimized Graph Partitioning for Omnidirectional Image Coding

Pascal Frossard, Francesca De Simone, Thomas Maugey, Mira Rizkallah

Omnidirectional images are spherical signals captured by cameras with 360-degree field of view. In order to be compressed using existing encoders, these signals are mapped to planar domain. A commonly used planar representation is the equirectangular one, ...
