Curvature computations on surfaces in -space
The interaction between dislocation dipolar loops plays an important role in the computation of the dislocation dynamics. The analytical form of the interaction force between two loops derived in the present paper from Kroupa’s formula of the stress field generated by a single dipolar loop allows for faster computation.
The paper deals with effective calculation of Thin-Plate Splines (TPS). We present a new modification of hierarchical approximation scheme. Unlike 2-D schemes published earlier, we propose an 1-D approximation. The new method yields lower computing complexity while it preserves the approximation accuracy.
In this paper, we describe an efficient method for 3D image segmentation. The method uses a PDE model – the so called generalized subjective surface equation which is an equation of advection-diffusion type. The main goal is to develop an efficient and stable numerical method for solving this problem. The numerical solution is based on semi-implicit time discretization and flux-based level set finite volume space discretization. The space discretization is discussed in details and we introduce three...
Floating-point arithmetic provides a fast but inexact way of computing geometric predicates. In order for these predicates to be exact, it is important to rule out all the numerical situations where floating-point computations could lead to wrong results. Taking into account all the potential problems is a tedious work to do by hand. We study in this paper a floating-point implementation of a filter for the orientation-2 predicate, and how a formal and partially automatized verification of this...
La elaboración de mapas que incluyen contornos de nivel se hace a partir de un conjunto de puntos dados por sus coordenadas. Existen varias formulaciones analíticas para definir una función de interpolación. En este artículo se propone una variante de la formulación de Little que puede servir para mejorar localmente su funcionamiento. Con objeto de estudiar su rendimiento se describen las alternativas presentes con cuatro ejemplos.
We discuss possible algorithms for interpolating data given in a set of curves and/or points in the plane. We propose a set of basic assumptions to be satisfied by the interpolation algorithms which lead to a set of models in terms of possibly degenerate elliptic partial differential equations. The Absolute Minimal Lipschitz Extension model (AMLE) is singled out and studied in more detail. We show experiments suggesting a possible application, the restoration of images with poor dynamic range. We...
In vivo visualization of cardiovascular structures is possible using medical images. However, one has to realize that the resulting 3D geometries correspond to in vivo conditions. This entails an internal stress state to be present in the in vivo measured geometry of e.g. a blood vessel due to the presence of the blood pressure. In order to correct for this in vivo stress, this paper presents an inverse method to restore the original zero-pressure geometry of a structure, and to recover the in vivo...
We summarize here the main ideas and results of our papers [28], [14], as presented at the 2013 CIRM Meeting on Discrete curvature and we augment these by bringing up an application of one of our main results, namely to solving a problem regarding cube complexes.
