Quasi-Newton Methods for Real-Time Simulation of Hyperelastic Materials

We present a new method for real-time physics-based simulation supporting many different types of hyperelastic materials. Previous methods such as Position-Based or Projective Dynamics are fast but support only a limited selection of materials; even classi ...

Online modeling for real-time facial animation

Sofien Bouaziz, Mark Pauly

Embodiments relate to a method for real-time facial animation, and a processing device for real-time facial animation. The method includes providing a dynamic expression model, receiving tracking data corresponding to a facial expression of a user, estimat ...

Modern techniques and applications for real-time non-rigid registration

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Hao Li, Andrea Tagliasacchi

Registration algorithms are an essential component of many computer graphics and computer vision systems. With recent technological advances in RGBD sensors (color plus depth), an active area of research is in techniques combining color, geometry, and lear ...

Beyond Developable: Computational Design and Fabrication with Auxetic Materials

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Bailin Deng, Mina Konakovic Lukovic

We present a computational method for interactive 3D design and rationalization of surfaces via auxetic materials, i.e., flat flexible material that can stretch uniformly up to a certain extent. A key motivation for studying such material is that one can a ...

Realtime Face Tracking and Animation

Sofien Bouaziz

Capturing and processing human geometry, appearance, and motion is at the core of computer graphics, computer vision, and human-computer interaction. The high complexity of human geometry and motion dynamics, and the high sensitivity of the human visual sy ...

Guided Mesh Normal Filtering

Sofien Bouaziz, Bailin Deng

The joint bilateral filter is a variant of the standard bilateral filter, where the range kernel is evaluated using a guidance signal instead of the original signal. It has been successfully applied to various image processing problems, where it provides m ...

ShapeOp - A Robust and Extensible Geometric Modelling Paradigm

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Bailin Deng, Mario Moacir Deuss, Anders Holden Deleuran

We present ShapeOp, a robust and extensible geometric modelling paradigm. ShapeOp builds on top of the state-of-the-art physics solver (Bouaziz et al. in ACM Trans Graph 33:154:1–154:11, 2014). We discuss the main theoretical advantages of the underlying s ...

Robust Articulated-ICP for Real-Time Hand Tracking

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Anastasia Tkach, Andrea Tagliasacchi

We present a robust method for capturing articulated hand motions in realtime using a single depth camera. Our system is based on a realtime registration process that accurately reconstructs hand poses by fitting a 3D articulated hand model to depth images ...

Dynamic 3D Avatar Creation from Hand-held Video Input

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Alexandru Eugen Ichim

We present a complete pipeline for creating fully rigged, personalized 3D facial avatars from hand-held video. Our system faithfully recovers facial expression dynamics of the user by adapting a blendshape template to an image sequence of recorded expressi ...

Interactive design exploration for constrained meshes

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Bailin Deng, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg, Mario Moacir Deuss, Alexandre Kaspar

In architectural design, surface shapes are commonly subject to geometric constraints imposed by material, fabrication or assembly. Rationalization algorithms can convert a freeform design into a form feasible for production, but often require design modif ...
