Spline Shape Processing

Daniel Andreas Schmitter

In this thesis, we present a novel generic and unifying framework for data-adaptive shape modeling. Our work is motivated by the raising need for powerful geometric modeling kernels that are required for shape characterization in biomedical imaging. The on ...

Curvature-Controlled Defect Localization in Elastic Surface Crystals

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We investigate the influence of curvature and topology on crystalline dimpled patterns on the surface of generic elastic bilayers. Our numerical analysis predicts that the total number of defects created by adiabatic compression exhibits universal quadrati ...

LOD Generation for Urban Scenes

Yannick Verdie

We introduce a novel approach that reconstructs 3D urban scenes in the form of levels of detail (LODs). Starting from raw data sets such as surface meshes generated by multi-view stereo systems, our algorithm proceeds in three main steps: classification, a ...

Practical parallel rendering of detailed neuron simulations

John Anthony Biddiscombe

Parallel rendering of large polygonal models with transparency is challenging due to the need for alpha-correct blending and compositing, which is costly for very large models with high depth complexity and spatial overlap. In this paper we compare the per ...

Resolving Ambiguities in Monocular 3D Reconstruction of Deformable Surfaces

Aydin Varol

In this thesis, we focus on the problem of recovering 3D shapes of deformable surfaces from a single camera. This problem is known to be ill-posed as for a given 2D input image there exist many 3D shapes that give visually identical projections. We present ...

A neuron membrane mesh representation for visualization of electrophysiological simulations

Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Sean Lewis Hill, Juan Bautista Hernando Vieites, Sébastien Lasserre

We present a process to automatically generate three-dimensional mesh representations of the complex, arborized cell membrane surface of cortical neurons (the principal information processing cells of the brain) from nonuniform morphological measurements. ...

Geometry-Induced Rigidity in Nonspherical Pressurized Elastic Shells

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We present results from an experimental investigation of the indentation of nonspherical pressurized elastic shells with a positive Gauss curvature. A predictive framework is proposed that rationalizes the dependence of the local rigidity of an indented sh ...

Caustic Art

Mark Pauly

The computation of caustics created by reflection or refraction of light is a well-studied problem in computer graphics. This paper investigates the inverse problem: Given a greyscale intensity image, find the shape of a surface that will cast a caustic th ...

Geodesic Active Fields

Dominique Zosso

Image registration is the concept of mapping homologous points in a pair of images. In other words, one is looking for an underlying deformation field that matches one image to a target image. The spectrum of applications of image registration is extremely ...

Active Deformation Fields: Dense Deformation Field Estimation for Atlas-based Segmentation using the Active Contour Framework

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Xavier Bresson, Valérie Duay, Subrahmanyam Venkata Ravi Mohana Sai Gorthi

This paper presents a new and original variational framework for atlas-based segmentation. The proposed framework integrates both the active contour framework, and the dense deformation fields of optical flow framework. This framework is quite general and ...
