A virtual microstructure generator for 3D stone masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Mahmoud S. M. Shaqfa

Detailed micromodel simulations of stone masonry walls require as input a 3D mesh that represents a realistic arrangement of stones in the masonry wall. In this paper, we constructed the first 3D masonry microstructures to derive 2D and 3D finite or discre ...

Synthesis and Analysis of 3D shapes with Geometric Deep Learning in Computer-Aided Engineering

Edoardo Remelli

In this thesis, we advocate that Computer-Aided Engineering could benefit from a Geometric Deep Learning revolution, similarly to the way that Deep Learning revolutionized Computer Vision. To do so, we consider a variety of Computer-Aided Engineering pr ...

Differentiable Signed Distance Function Rendering

Sébastien Nicolas Speierer, Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini

Physically-based differentiable rendering has recently emerged as an attractive new technique for solving inverse problems that recover complete 3D scene representations from images. The inversion of shape parameters is of particular interest but also pose ...

Learning to Represent and Reconstruct 3D Deformable Objects

Jan Bednarík

Representing and reconstructing 3D deformable shapes are two tightly linked problems that have long been studied within the computer vision field. Deformable shapes are truly ubiquitous in the real world, whether be it specific object classes such as human ...

Sketch2Mesh: Reconstructing and Editing 3D Shapes from Sketches

Pascal Fua, Edoardo Remelli, Benoît Alain René Guillard, Pierre Mathieu Yvernay

Reconstructing 3D shape from 2D sketches has long been an open problem because the sketches only provide very sparse and ambiguous information. In this paper, we use an encoder/decoder architecture for the sketch to mesh translation. When integrated into a ...

A Non-Exponential Transmittance Model for Volumetric Scene Representations

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini

We introduce a novel transmittance model to improve the volumetric representation of 3D scenes. The model can represent opaque surfaces in the volumetric light transport framework. Volumetric representations are useful for complex scenes, and become increa ...

Fast end-to-end learning on protein surfaces

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Freyr Sverrisson

Proteins' biological functions are defined by the geometric and chemical structure of their 3D molecular surfaces. Recent works have shown that geometric deep learning can be used on mesh-based representations of proteins to identify potential functional s ...

2d-3d sculpture paintings

Roger Hersch, Sabine Süsstrunk, Mahmut Sami Arpa

We disclose a method for synthesizing by computer an artwork where 2D and 3D contents are integrated within a same composition. Such an artwork creates plausible effects for the viewers by showing a different relationship between 2D and 3D at each viewing ...

Reparameterizing Discontinuous Integrands for Differentiable Rendering

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Guillaume Rémi Bruno Loubet

Differentiable rendering has recently opened the door to a number of challenging inverse problems involving photorealistic images, such as computational material design and scattering-aware reconstruction of geometry and materials from photographs. Differe ...

An isogeometric boundary element method for electromagnetic scattering with compatible B-spline discretizations

Rafael Vazquez Hernandez

We outline the construction of compatible B-splines on 3D surfaces that satisfy the continuity requirements for electromagnetic scattering analysis with the boundary element method (method of moments). Our approach makes use of Non-Uniform Rational B-splin ...

3D model discretization in assessing urban solar potential: the effect of grid spacing on predicted solar irradiation

Emmanuel Rey, Marilyne Andersen, Giuseppe Peronato

The increasing interest in solar energy production in urban areas requires an accurate simulation of solar irradiation on building surfaces, including vertical surfaces. However, solar potential analyses are usually conducted on 2.5D models, which are limi ...

A Flexible Coupled Level Set and Volume of Fluid (flexCLV) method to simulate microscale two-phase flow in non-uniform and unstructured meshes

John Richard Thome, Mirco Magnini, Andrea Ferrari

An innovative Flexible Coupled Level Set (LS) and Volume of Fluid (VOF) algorithm (flexCLV) to simulate two-phase flows at the microscale on unstructured and non-uniform meshes is proposed. The method combines the advantages of the VOF method in terms of m ...

Fabrication-Aware Design with Performative Criteria

Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg

Artists and architects often need to handle multiple constraints during design of physical constructions. We define a performative constraint as any constraint on design that is tied to the performance of the model--either during fabrication, construction, ...

A Combined Approach Toward Consistent Reconstructions of Indoor Spaces Based on 6D RGB-D Odometry and KinectFusion

Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez

We propose a 6D RGB-D odometry approach that finds the relative camera pose between consecutive RGB-D frames by keypoint extraction and feature matching both on the RGB and depth image planes. Furthermore, we feed the estimated pose to the highly accurate ...
