Abstract. We present a variational framework for shape optimization and shape reconstruction problems in seismic domains based full waveform inversion. We discuss general shape functionals in this framework, along with applications to shape optimization using the Helmholtz equation and image domain segmentation. We study the shape derivative in each case to express the variation of energy with ...

effect of small al additions, from 0.14% to 0.31% ai, on the hot deformation behavior of low carbon steels containing 1%cu-1.2%mn was investigated in the temperature range of 750-800•c over the strain rate range of 1o.3.1o.1s•1 by a hot compression testing machine. the flow curves obtained, exhibited typical characteristics of dynamic recovery type of softening mechanism, and the critical strai...

A sketch is often used as a simple and useful medium to communicate a rough 3D shape among humans. In order to realize man-machine communication of rough 3D shape using a sketch, we have to discuss the problem how to recover the 3D shape implied by a human using a 2D sketch. In this paper, we propose to recover the 3D shape from its sketch interactively based on some qualitative features that w...

In this paper, we develop a novel framework for robust recovery of three-dimensional (3-D) surfaces of faces from single images. The underlying principle is shape from recognition, i.e., the idea that pre-recognizing face parts can constrain the space of possible solutions to the image irradiance equation, thus allowing robust recovery of the 3-D structure of a specific part. Parts of faces lik...
