Advection-Based Function Matching on Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
A tangent vector field on a surface is the generator of a smooth family of maps from the surface to itself, known as the flow. Given a scalar function on the surface, it can be transported, or advected, by composing it ...
As-Killing-As-Possible Vector Fields for Planar Deformation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
Cartoon animation, image warping, and several other tasks in two-dimensional computer graphics reduce to the formulation of a reasonable model for planar deformation. A deformation is a map from a given shape to a new one, ...
Soft Maps Between Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
The problem of mapping between two non-isometric surfaces admits ambiguities on both local and global scales. For instance, symmetries can make it possible for multiple maps to be equally acceptable, and stretching, slippage, ...
Can Mean-Curvature Flow be Modified to be Non-singular?
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
This work considers the question of whether mean-curvature flow can be modified to avoid the formation of singularities. We analyze the finite-elements discretization and demonstrate why the original flow can result in ...
