Interactive techniques for motion deformation of articulated figures using prioritized constraints

Convincingly animating virtual humans has become of great interest in many fields since recent years. In computer games for example, virtual humans often are the main characters. Failing to realistically animate them may wreck all previous efforts made to ...

Robust on-line adaptive footplant detection and enforcement for locomotion

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Pascal Glardon

A common problem in virtual character computer animation concerns the preservation of the basic foot-floor constraint (or footplant), consisting in detecting it before enforcing it. This paper describes a system capable of generating motion while continuou ...

The current signal in Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving (SACE), what does it tell us ?

Hannes Bleuler, Rolf Wüthrich

Spark-assisted chemical engraving (SACE) is a promising micro-machining technology for the low-cost machining of holes and channels in non-conducting materials, such as glass and some ceramics. Despite the complexity of SACE due to the interdependency of t ...

Interactive three-dimensional reconstruction and weathering simulations on buildings

Stéphane Gobron

Architectural sites suffers from weathering effects such as liquid sedimentation, lampblack or pollution deposit, moss growing or longterm erosion. Displaying their impact on present buildings could help deciders to plan relevant actions for preserving the ...

Recent Developments in coupling topographical and meteorological effects with the Green's Function Parabolic Equation (GFPE): Theory and experiment

François Aballéa

The paper deals with long range outdoor sound propagation predictions under range dependant complex environment using the parabolic equation approach (PE). New developments allowing to work beyond the classical limits of the PE method are presented: the re ...

Mechanical Slit Mask Mechanism for the James Webb Space Telescope Spectrometer

Simon Nessim Henein, Philippe Schwab

This paper presents the mechanical slit mask designed for the Near Infrared Spectrograph of the James Webb Space Telescope. This mechanism is designed to function at a cryogenic temperature of 30K, in vacuum. The reconfigurable mask allows to form 24 optic ...

Deformable tissue parameterized by properties of real biological tissue

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Anderson Maciel

Realistic mechanical models of biological soft tissues are a key issue to allow the implementation of reliable systems to aid on orthopedic diagnosis and surgery planning. We are working to develop a computerized soft tissues model for biotissues based on ...

Dimensional analysis and similitude in microsystem design and assembly

The effects miniaturization has on microsystems and related fields are the central subject of this work. Physical phenomena we are used to in our conventionally sized world seldom work at smaller scales. Before attempting to design a microsystem or try to ...

Monitoring and simulation of visual and photo-biological properties of daylight-redirecting systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Apiparn Borisuit, Anothai Thanachareonkit

We previously developed a Camera-Like Light Sensor (CLLS) to record an image or a video using high dynamic range imaging technique. The device was equipped with customized filters for adapting the camera’s spectral sensitivity to both photopic and circadia ...
