A real-time multigrid finite hexahedra method for elasticity simulation using CUDA
In this paper we present a GPU-based multigrid approach for simulating elastic deformable objects in real time. Our method is based on a finite element discretization of the defo...

Gradient Vector Flow: A New External Force for Snakes
Snakes, or active contours, are used extensively in computer vision and image processing applications, particularly to locate object boundaries. Problems associated with initial...

Local Minimum of Elastic Potential Energy on Hemispherical Soft Fingertip
— This paper proposes a new contact deformation model between a hemispherical soft fingertip and an object. First, we develop our proposed contact model, in which an elastic pot...

Volume Animation Using the Skeleton Tree
In this paper, we describe a technique to animate volumes using a volumetric skeleton. The skeleton is computed from the actual volume, based on a reversible thinning procedure us...

Physically-based model for simulating the human trunk respiration movements
Abstract. We have developped a physically-based model where an object is represented by a set of mass points on its contour. Each object may be defined locally and physically usin...
