Deformable models using displacement constraints
… [19], used for creating and animating deformable objects. It is a constraint-based technique that uncouples the constraint forces from the external forces acting on an object, and solves a system of geometric constraints at each time step using an iterative technique. Displacement …

On analysing deformable (moving) objects
… prior aided segmentation framework to extract deformable shapes over a sequence of frames. This thesis acknowledges the demand by these applications for a robust and flexible approach which is particularly designed to extract deformable timely shape sequences. It is also recognised that …

Learning Deformable Templates for Brain MRI
Deformable templates, or atlases, are images, often labelled, that represent a typical anatomy for a population. They are commonly used in medical image analysis for population studies and computational anatomy tasks. Practitioners use image alignment techniques to compare the subject scan and the …

Design of a Deformable Spherical Robot
… robot is investigated to support the claim that deformable spherical robots that are point-supported can increase the speed of the robot. The spherical robot design investigated in this thesis has a unique actuation system because it uses a low number of actuators with the goal of increasing …

Unsteady Aerodynamics of Deformable Thin Airfoils
… (which is restricted to rigid airfoil motion) to deformable thin airfoils. Frequency-domain lift, pitching moment and thrust expressions are derived for an airfoil undergoing harmonic oscillations and deformation in the form of Chebychev polynomials. The results are validated against the …

Learning deformable models for tracking human motion
The analysis and automatic interpretation of images containing moving non-rigid objects, such as walking people, has been the subject of considerable research in the field of computer vision and pattern recognition. In order to build fast and reliable systems some kind of prior model is generally …

Learning deformable shape models for object tracking
… in the construction of, and tracking with, deformable shape models. A common approach to building such a model is to apply statistics to a set of real-life training examples of an object in order to learn shape and deformation characteristics. Such methods have proved successful in many …

Controllable, non-oscillatory damping for deformable objects
… a new method for the controllable damping of deformable objects. The method evolves from physically based techniques; however, it allows for non-physical, but visually plausible motion. This flexibility leads to a simple interface, with intuitive control over the behaviour of the material. …

Automatic 3D facial modelling with deformable models.
… with range scans in different scales, and a deformable model, which can be used to recover the shapes of range scans and to establish correspondences between facial models. With the registration method and the deformable model, the author proposed a fully automatic approach to reconstructing …

Approximating polygonal objects with deformable smooth surfaces
… a method to approximate a polygonal object with adeformable smooth surface, namely the t-skin defined byEdelsbrunner for all 0< t < 1. We guarantee that they arehomeomorphic and their Hausdorff distance is at most \epsilon>0.This construction makes it possible for fully automatic, smoothand robust …

Vector offset operators for deformable organic objects.
… and most of living tissues exhibit complex deformable behaviours that may be characteriseda s organic. In computer animation, deformable organic material behaviour is needed for the development of characters and scenes based on living creatures and natural phenomena. This study addresses the …

Stability of rigid and deformable roll coating flows
… the investigation of instabilities in rigid and deformable roll coating flows. Consideration is restricted to Newtonian, incompressible fluids in the absence of inertia. In each coating flow analysed the steady two dimensional base state solutions of the system axe explored before the stability …

Deformable meshes for shape recovery: models and applications
… more 3D objects become available. Among them, deformable objects have gained increasing interests. They include medical instances such as organs, a sequence of objects in motion, and objects of similar shapes where a meaningful correspondence can be established between each other. Thus, it …
