Free - Form Deformation for Implicit Surfaces

چکیده

Implicit surfaces offer many advantages for sketch-based modeling systems, such as blending, CSG, and a procedural object hierarchy. Free-form deformation (FFD) is also extremely useful in this context, however existing FFD approaches do not support implicit surface representations, and FFD lattice manipulation is time-consuming compared to sketch-based techniques. In this thesis, an FFD technique suitable for implicit surface representations is described. To enhance real-time feedback, the problem is split into an approximate formulation used during interactive deformation, and a more robust variational technique which preserves desirable scalar field properties. As an interface to manipulate the deformation, a sketch-based volumetric peeling interface is introduced. The user’s task is to draw a curve on the surface, and pull or push the surface to the desirable position via the curve. Subsequently, the deformation is automatically defined. This technique has been implemented in a prototype implicit FFD system called Taco. Results created in Taco show that a desirable deformation can be easily achieved while preserving implicit properties.

From Explicit to Implicit Surfaces for Visualization, Animation and Modeling

Deformable 3–D models are used extensively in Computer Graphics and Computer Vision for Visualization, Animation and Modeling. They can be represented either as traditional explicit surfaces, such as triangulated meshes, or as implicit surfaces. On one hand, explicit surfaces can easily be manually deformed by users, such as graphics designers, either directly by moving the mesh vertices or ind...

Implicit Free-Form-Deformations for Multi-frame Segmentation and Tracking

In this paper, we propose a novel technique to address motion estimation and tracking. Such technique represents the motion field using a regular grid of thin-plate splines, and the moving objects using an implicit function on the image plane that is a cubic interpolation of a ”level set function” defined on this grid. Optical flow is determined through the deformation of the grid and consequen...

Continuous Deformations of Implicit Surfaces

We introduce an approach for the continuous deformation of implicit surfaces which considers properties of all isosurfaces of a volume data set simultaneously. This is achieved by integrating divergence-free vector fields which is carried out by an efficient backward Lagrangian integration scheme. Our deformation guarantees volume preservation inside each isosurface as well as the preservation ...

On Static Bending, Elastic Buckling and Free Vibration Analysis of Symmetric Functionally Graded Sandwich Beams

This article presents Navier type closed-form solutions for static bending, elastic buckling and free vibration analysis of symmetric functionally graded (FG) sandwich beams using a hyperbolic shear deformation theory. The beam has FG skins and isotropic core. Material properties of FG skins are varied through the thickness according to the power law distribution. The present theory accounts fo...
