Nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) of a simulated chaotic cutting process is presented. The nonlinear MPC combines a neural-network model and a genetic-algorithm-based optim...
We are presenting techniques for simulating the motion and the deformation of cloth, fabrics or, more generally, deformable surfaces. Our main goal is to be able to simulate any k...

In this paper, we present a method that allows novice users to interactively create partially self-similar manifold surfaces without relying on shape grammars or fractal methods. ...
An important, largely unexplored area of computer image generation is the simulation of weathering and its effects on appearance. Weathering results from the interaction of the en...
The spine of an object is an entity that can characterise the object’s topology and describes the object by a lower dimension. It has an intuitive appeal for supporting geometric...
