We present a real-time method for detecting deformable surfaces, with no need whatsoever for a priori pose knowledge. Our method starts from a set of wide baseline point matches between an undeformed image of the object and the image in which it is to be d ...
A numerical simulation of the hydro-mechanical behaviour of an unsaturated porous medium is presented. The coupled hydro-mechanical model used is based on the continuum theory of mixtures and treats the unsaturated soil as a three phase porous medium (soli ...
This paper advocates an implicit-surface representation of generic 3--D surfaces to take advantage of occluding edges in a very robust way. This lets us exploit silhouette constraints in uncontrolled environments that may involve occlusions and changing or ...
The effect of an elastic deformation on optical properties of an aeolotropic medium (piezo-optic effect) is explicitly established from an energy function. Then is deduced the number of distinct coefficients ruling this effect in the special case of quartz ...
We analysed the light propagation through alignment-patterned liquid crystal films where the alignment is planar and homeotropic for different domains, respectively. Using elastic theory the nematic director field can be analytically calculated with the me ...

A new approach for human skin modeling and deformation based on cross-sectional methods is presented. Internally, the authors use dynamic trimmed parametric patches for describing the smooth deformation of skin pieces; then they polygonalize parametric pat ...
Following a review of the processing of functionally graded metals and metal-ceramic composites in Part 1; this Part 2 of the two part series focuses on the thermomechanical behaviour. The paper begins with an overview of the fundamentals of thermoelastic ...
