    • Optimized Impulse-Based Dynamic Simulation 

      Bayer, Daniel; Diziol, Raphael; Bender, Jan (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      The impulse-based dynamic simulation is a recent method to compute physically based simulations. It supports the simulation of rigid-bodies and particles connected by all kinds of implicit constraints. In recent years the ...
    • Design of Dynamical Stability Properties in Character Animation 

      Park, Aee-Ni; Mukovskiy, Albert; Slotine, Jean-Jacques E.; Giese, Martin A. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Human movements and the collective behavior of interacting characters in crowds can be described by nonlinear dynamical systems. The design of stability properties of dynamical systems has been a core topic in control ...
    • Smoke Simulation for Fire Engineering using a Multigrid Method on Graphics Hardware 

      Glimberg, Stefan L.; Erleben, Kenny; Bennetsen, Jens C. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      We present a GPU-based Computational Fluid Dynamics solver for the purpose of fire engineering. We apply a multigrid method to the Jacobi solver when solving the Poisson pressure equation, supporting internal boundaries. ...
    • A Sub-world Coupling Scheme for Haptic Rendering of Physically-based Rigid Bodies Simulation 

      Glondu, Loeiz; Marchal, Maud; Dumont, Georges (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      In the virtual reality context, the use of haptic rendering as an additional sensory modality significantly improves the degree of realism of virtual worlds. The physical realism of the interaction between the user and the ...
    • Friction Handling for Penalty-Based Methods 

      Lazarevych, Olexiy; Spillmann, Jonas; Renner, Christoph; Szekely, Gabor; Harders, Matthias (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      In order to handle collisions between interacting deformable objects, the penalty method is widely employed since it is simple to implement and computationally inexpensive. In this paper a novel penalty method for handling ...
    • GPU Accelerated Tandem Traversal of Blocked Bounding Volume Hierarchy Collision Detection for Multibody Dynamics 

      Damkjær, Jesper; Erleben, Kenny (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      The performance bottleneck of physics based animation is often the collision detection. It is well known by practitioners that the collision detection may consume more than half of the simulation time. In this work, we ...
    • Interactive Inverse Kinematics for Human Motion Estimation 

      Engell-Nørregård, Morten; Hauberg, Søren; Lapuyade, Jerome; Erleben, Kenny; Pedersen, Kim Steenstrup (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      We present an application of a fast interactive inverse kinematics method as a dimensionality reduction for monocular human motion estimation. The inverse kinematics solver deals efficiently and robustly with box constraints ...
