Abstract. This paper focuses on an important aspect of cardiac surgical simulation, which is the deformation of mesh models to form smooth joins between them. A novel algorithm bas...
Abstract: The theory of elasticity describes deformable materials such as rubber, cloth, paper, and flexible metals. We employ elasticity theory to construct differential equations...

In 3D deformable modeling approaches based on FEM, inverted tetrahedral elements can cause undesired visual artifacts and the breakdown of the simulation. As inversion can never be...
This paper suggests a high-level continuous image model for planar star-shaped objects. Under this model, a planar object is a stochastic deformation of a star-shaped template. The...
