PARAMETRIC SURFACES FOR AUGMENTED ARCHITECTURE REPRESENTATION

Parametric Representation of Facial Expressions on Pde-based Surfaces

Parameterisation of facial expressions on PDE surface representations of human faces are presented in this work. Taking advantage of the boundary-value approach inherent to Bloor-Wilson PDE method, facial expressions are achieved by manipulating the original boundary curves. Such curves are responsible for generating a surface representation of a human face in its neutral configuration, so that...

PARAMETRIC SURFACES AND ARCHITECTURE: Concepts, Design, and Production

By incorporating parametric surfaces and spline entities into the shape modelling computer systems, new design and production graphic tools have been created in the conceptual and poetic field of architecture; thus allowing an intuitive approach to the fast production of complex shapes with a minimum amount of data and specific knowledge. The analogous production systems (constrained by the mat...

Augmented Reality for Non-Rigid Surfaces

Augmented Reality (AR) is the process of integrating virtual elements in reality, often by mixing computer graphics into a live video stream of a real scene. It requires registration of the target object with respect to the cameras. To this end, some approaches rely on dedicated hardware, such as magnetic trackers or infra-red cameras, but they are too expensive and cumbersome to reach a large ...

An Augmented Frame Representation for Building Designs

We are developing an intelligent interface for the many design evaluation programs becoming available in architecture. As the central part of this project we have developed a model of buildings, capable of holding all the information needed to describe a building to a number of design tools commonly used by architects. The model also contains knowledge about components in a building and their i...
