Real-Time Generative Hand Modeling and Tracking

In our everyday life we interact with the surrounding environment using our hands. A main focus of recent research has been to bring such interaction to virtual objects, such as the ones projected in virtual reality devices, or super-imposed as holograms i ...

An isogeometric boundary element method for electromagnetic scattering with compatible B-spline discretizations

Rafael Vazquez Hernandez

We outline the construction of compatible B-splines on 3D surfaces that satisfy the continuity requirements for electromagnetic scattering analysis with the boundary element method (method of moments). Our approach makes use of Non-Uniform Rational B-splin ...

Design Transformations for Rule-based Procedural Modeling

Mark Pauly, Cheryl Shaulya Lau, Stefan Lienhard

We introduce design transformations for rule-based procedural models, e.g., for buildings and plants. Given two or more procedural designs, each specified by a grammar, a design transformation combines elements of the existing designs to generate new desig ...

Smooth Shapes with Spherical Topology: Beyond Traditional Modeling, Efficient Deformation, and Interaction

Michaël Unser, Pablo Garcia-Amorena Garcia, Daniel Andreas Schmitter

Existing shape models with spherical topology are typically designed either in the discrete domain using interpolating polygon meshes or in the continuous domain using smooth but non-interpolating schemes such as subdivision or NURBS. Both polygon models a ...

Swiss school typologies from a daylighting perspective between 1945 and 2015

Jean-Denis Bernard Marie Ghislain Thiry

The research consists of three successive and interdependent parts. The 1st part seeks to reconstruct the typological evolution of primary schools and their associated daylighting strategies between 1945 and 2015 in Switzerland – a country widely recognize ...

Medial axis transformation as a solid modeling representation method for computer aided design software

Paul Xirouchakis, Mihai-Bogdan Lazar, Ian Anthony Stroud, Florian Barras, Guillaume Goualard

A method for achieving a representation of an object within a data structure for a Computer Aided Design system employing a Medial Axis Transformation (MAT), the representation of the object comprising a set of adjacent bounded surface elements called MAT ...

Sphere-Meshes for Real-Time Hand Modeling and Tracking

Mark Pauly, Andrea Tagliasacchi, Anastasia Tkach

Modern systems for real-time hand tracking rely on a combination of discriminative and generative approaches to robustly recover hand poses. Generative approaches require the specification of a geometric model. In this paper, we propose a the use of sphere ...

Round robin on local stress evaluation for fatigue by various FEM software

Alain Nussbaumer, Vasileios Grigoriou

The objective of this Round Robin is to assess the software influence on the structural/local stress values as determined by means of various methods. In particular the influence of (a) FEM software solver, (b) potentially software-depending element charac ...

Design and exploration of externally post-tensioned structures using graphic statics

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

Funicular structures, which follow the shapes of hanging chains, work in pure tension (cables) or pure compression (arches), and offer a materially efficient solution compared to structures that work through bending action. However, the set of geometries t ...
