OCTOPUS: Efficient Query Execution on Dynamic Mesh Datasets

Anastasia Ailamaki, Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Thomas Heinis, Farhan Tauheed

Scientists in many disciplines use spatial mesh models to study physical phenomena. Simulating natural phenomena by changing meshes over time helps to understand and predict future behavior of the phenomena. The higher the precision of the mesh models, the ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

Monocular 3D Reconstruction of Locally Textured Surfaces

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Appu Shaji, Aydin Varol

Most recent approaches to monocular non-rigid 3D shape recovery rely on exploiting point correspondences and work best when the whole surface is well-textured. The alternative is to rely either on contours or shading information, which has only been demons ...

Modélisation géométrique itérative sous contraintes

Gilles Gouaty

Iterative models are widely used today in CAD. They allow, with a limited number of parameters, to represent relatively complex forms through a subdivision algorithm. There is a wide variety of such models (Catmull-Clark, Doo-Sabin, L-Systems...). Most ite ...

Polygon Mesh Processing

Mark Pauly

Geometry processing, or mesh processing, is a fast-growing area of research that uses concepts from applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering to design efficient algorithms for the acquisition, reconstruction, analysis, manipulation, simulatio ...

Positional, metric, and curvature control for constraint-based surface deformation

Mark Pauly

We present a geometry processing framework that allows direct manipulation or preservation of positional, metric, and curvature constraints anywhere on the surface of a geometric model. Target values for these properties can be specified point-wise or as i ...
