Curvature and Continuity Control in Particle-Based Surface Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper develops techniques to locally control curvature and continuity in particle-based surface models. Such models are a generalization of traditional spline surfaces built out of triangular patches. Traditional splines require the topology of the triangular mesh to be specified ahead of time. In contrast, particle-based surface models compute the topology dynamically as a function of the relative node positions, and can add or delete nodes as required. Such models are particularly important in computer vision and other inverse problems, where the topology of the surface being reconstructed is usually not known a priori. We develop techniques for both locally controlling the curvature of the surface (through additional state at each node), and for adapting the triangulation to surface curvature (by concentrating more particles in areas of high curvature). We show how the same ideas can also be applied to 3-D curves, which results in a flexible version of traditional dynamic contours (snakes).

An effective approach for damage identification in beam-like structures based on modal flexibility curvature and particle swarm optimization
In this paper, a computationally simple approach for damage localization and quantification in beam-like structures is proposed. This method is based on using modal flexibility curvature (MFC) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Analytical studies in the literature have shown that changes in the modal flexibility curvature can be considered as a sensitive and suitable criterion for...
متن کاملImproved shape for multi-surface blends
For many design applications, where multiple primary surface pieces meet, the distribution of curvature is more important than formally achieving exact curvature continuity. For parametric spline surfaces, when constructing a multi-sided surface cap, we demonstrate a strong link between the uniform variation of the re-parameterization between (boundary) data of the joining pieces and a desirabl...

متن کاملAN OPTIMAL FUZZY SLIDING MODE CONTROLLER DESIGN BASED ON PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION AND USING SCALAR SIGN FUNCTION
This paper addresses the problems caused by an inappropriate selection of sliding surface parameters in fuzzy sliding mode controllers via an optimization approach. In particular, the proposed method employs the parallel distributed compensator scheme to design the state feedback based control law. The controller gains are determined in offline mode via a linear quadratic regular. The particle ...
متن کاملConstructing PDE-based surfaces bounded by geodesics or lines of curvature
In order to explore a new approach to construct surfaces bounded by geodesics or lines of curvature, a method of surface modeling based on fourth-order partial differential equations (PDEs) is presented. Compared with the free-form surface modeling based on finding control points, PDE-based surface modeling has the following three advantages. First, the corresponding biharmonic surface can natu...
