A method and system for enforcing smoothness constraints on surface meshes from a graph convolutional neural network
Pascal Fua, Pamuditha Udaranga Wickramasinghe
A method for enforcing smoothness constraints on surface meshes produced by a Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCNN) including the steps of reading image data from a memory, the image data including two-dimensional image data representing a three-dimens ...
2023Synthesis and Analysis of 3D shapes with Geometric Deep Learning in Computer-Aided Engineering
In this thesis, we advocate that Computer-Aided Engineering could benefit from a Geometric Deep Learning revolution, similarly to the way that Deep Learning revolutionized Computer Vision. To do so, we consider a variety of Computer-Aided Engineering pro ...
EPFL2022Learning to Represent and Reconstruct 3D Deformable Objects
Representing and reconstructing 3D deformable shapes are two tightly linked problems that have long been studied within the computer vision field. Deformable shapes are truly ubiquitous in the real world, whether be it specific object classes such as human ...

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Victor Constantin, Shaifali Parashar, Erhan Gündogdu
In this paper, we tackle the problem of static 3D cloth draping on virtual human bodies. We introduce a two-stream deep network model that produces a visually plausible draping of a template cloth on virtual 3D bodies by extracting features from both the b ...
2020Numerical Modelling of Two-Phase Flow with Moving Boundary Fitted Meshes
In this thesis, a computational approach is used to study two-phase flow including phase change by direct numerical simulation.
This approach follows the interface with an adaptive moving mesh.
The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved, in tw ...
EPFL2018Point cloud subjective evaluation methodology based on reconstructed surfaces
Touradj Ebrahimi, Evangelos Alexiou
Point clouds have been gaining importance as a solution to the problem of efficient representation of 3D geometric and visual information. They are commonly represented by large amounts of data, and compression schemes are important for their manipulation ...
SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING2018Isogeometric Analysis for High Order Geometric Partial Differential Equations with Applications
In this thesis, we consider the numerical approximation of high order geometric Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). We first consider high order PDEs defined on surfaces in the 3D space that are represented by single-patch tensor product NURBS. Then, we ...
EPFL2017Smoothly Deformable Spheres: Modeling, Deformation, and Interaction
Michaël Unser, Pablo Garcia-Amorena Garcia, Daniel Andreas Schmitter
Existing shape models with spherical topology are typically designed either in the discrete domain using interpolating polygon meshes or in the continuous domain using smooth but non-interpolating schemes such as NURBS. Polygon models and subdivision metho ...
ACM2016Curvature-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 ...
American Physical Society2016Mechanical form-finding of timber fabric structures
How about fastening a knot? not with ropes... but with timber panels. Timber Fabric
Structures (TFS) originate from such an inspiration. An architectural reinterpretation
of fabric techniques (mainly braiding) using building scale timber panels to design ...
