In the last year, the concept of Industry 4.0 and smart factories has increasingly gained more importance. One of the central aspects of this innovation is the coupling of physical systems with a corresponding virtual ...

Parallel architectures, in the form of multi-core or multiple computers, have produced a major impact in the field of information technology. GPU devices, as an extreme example of parallel architectures, have been adapted ...

Recent research on muscle simulation for Visual Effects relies on numerical methods such as the Finite Element Method or Finite Volume Method. These approaches produce realistic results, but require high computational time ...

Molecular Dynamics Simulations (MDS) play an important role in the field of computational biology. The simulations produce large high-dimensional, spatio-temporal data describing the motion of atoms and molecules. A central ...

In this study, we combine computer vision and visualisation/data exploration to analyse magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data and detect garden peas inside the stomach. It is a preliminary objective of a larger project ...

Graphic design and visualization are becoming fundamental components of education. The use of advanced visual design in pedagogy is growing and evolving rapidly. One of their aims is to enhance the educational process by ...

Point-cloud-to-mesh registration estimates a rigid transformation that minimizes the distance between a point sample of a surface and a reference mesh of such a surface, both lying in different coordinate systems. ...

Shape optimization in the context of technical design is the process by which mechanical demands (e.g. loads, stresses) govern a sequence of piece instances, which satisfy the demands, while at the same time evolving towards ...

The current rise of video games has made that different fields of research feel attracted to these new technologies in order to enhance their works and make their results more attractive. It is for this reason that so-called ...

In many applications, such as urban physics simulations or the study of the solar impact effects at different scales, complex 3D city models are required to evaluate physical values. In this paper we present a new technique ...
