چکیده

This paper proposes a sketch-based interface for modeling muscle fiber orientation of a 3D virtual heart model. Our current target is electrophysiological simulation of heart and fiber orientation is one of the key elements to obtain faithful simulation results. The interface and algorithm are designed based on the observation that fiber orientation is always parallel to the heart surface. The user specifies the fiber orientation on the surface by drawing a freeform stroke on the object surface. The system first builds a vector field on the surface by applying Laplacian smoothing to the mesh vertices and then builds volumetric vector field by applying Laplacian smoothing to the voxels. The usefulness of the proposed method is demonstrated through a user study with a doctor in that area.

A sketch-based interface for modeling myocardial fiber orientation that considers the layered structure of the ventricles.

We propose a sketch-based interface for modeling the myocardial fiber orientation required in the electrophysiological simulation of the heart, especially the ventricles. The user can create a volumetric vector field that represents the myocardial fiber orientation in two steps. First, a depth field over the three-dimensional (3D) ventricular model is defined to create layers of myocardium. The...

Stiffness Prediction of Beech Wood Flour Polypropylene Composite by using Proper Fiber Orientation Distribution Function

One of the most famous methods to predict the stiffness of short fiber composites is micromechanical modeling. In this study, a Representative Volume Element (RVE) of a beech wood flour natural composite has been designed and the orientation averaging approach has been utilized to predict its stiffness tensor. The novelty of this work is in finding the proper fiber orientation distribution func...

Sketch-Based Modeling with the BlobTree (sketches 0292)

Sketch-based modeling provides an intuitive and expressive interface for 3D model creation. With the Teddy [Igarashi et al. 1999] system, complex free-form 3D models could be quickly produced using a gesture interface. However, the topological modeling operations implemented in Teddy were limited by the underlying shape representation (triangle meshes). Related systems based on variational impl...

Informal User Interface for Graphical Computing

This paper explores a concept of sketch-based informal user interface for graphic computing, which can be characterized by two properties: strokebased input and perceptual processing of strokes. A sketch-based graphics input prototype system designed for creative brainstorming in conceptual design is introduced. Two core technologies for implementing such a system, adaptive sketch recognition a...
