This paper describes a fully interactive modelling system, which we have called ClayWorks, for defining the implicit geometry of 3D objects using parametric base primitives and deformations. The goal of this system is to provide a means for describing object data and its creation history by using a

distinguish between different parts of an image, which helps establish anatomical correspondences in the deformation procedure. This is a fundamental deviation of our method from other volumetric deformation methods, which are typically based on maximizing image similarity. Second, it employs a hierarchical

This paper describes a physically-based model for animating cloth objects, derived from elastically deformable models, and improved in order to take into account the non-elastic properties of woven fabrics. A cloth object is first approximated to a deformable surface composed of a network of masses

, an alignment-based elastic matching algorithm has been developed. This algorithm is capable of finding the correspondences between minutiae in the input image and the stored template without resorting to exhaustive search and has the ability of adaptively compensating for the nonlinear deformations and inexact

deform into shapes conforming to global constraints imposed by the training set. An iterative procedure deforms the model example to find the best fit to the image object. Results of applying the method are described. The technique is shown to be a powerful method for refining estimates of object shape

Abstract—Temporal and geometrical decorrelation often pre-vents SAR interferometry from being an operational tool for sur-face deformation monitoring and topographic profile reconstruc-tion. Moreover, atmospheric disturbances can strongly compro-mise the accuracy of the results. In this paper, we

The grain-size samples taken from opened sections of the cores consisted of 10 cc of sediment. Project directions for the actual sampling procedure were followed; however, personal judgment, in most cases, governed the decision as to where in the core the actual sample was taken. More often than

The main steps in the deformation detection via geodetic methods are the least square estimation (LSE) of each epoch, and the deformation detection between epochs. This research focuses on the development of an interface programs called CONVERT, to integrate STARNET V6 (a commercial software

The problem of obtaining a mathematical representation of the cortex of the human brain is examined. A parametrization of the outer cortex is first obtained using a deformable surface algorithm which, motivated by the structure of the cortex, is constructed to find the central layer of thick
