Dual Contouring of Signed Distance Data
Xiana Carrera, Ningna Wang, Christopher Batty +2
We propose an algorithm to reconstruct explicit polygonal meshes from discretely sampled Signed Distance Function (SDF) data, which is especially effective at recovering sharp feat…
SpUDD: Superpower Contouring of Unsigned Distance Data
Ningna Wang, Xiana Carrera, Christopher Batty +2
Unsigned distance functions offer a powerful and flexible implicit surface representation that, unlike their signed counterparts, allow for surfaces that are open, non-orientable,…
Greed for the Spheres: A Signed Distance Interpolation Method
Letao Chen, Sanju Mupparaju, Christopher Batty +2
We propose a method to interpolate Signed Distance Function (SDF) data from a discrete set of samples. Unlike prior work, our approach ensures that the new SDF data values are full…
Optimizing Parameters for Static Equilibrium of Discrete Elastic Rods with Active-Set Cholesky
Tetsuya Takahashi, Christopher Batty
We propose a parameter optimization method for achieving static equilibrium of discrete elastic rods. Our method simultaneously optimizes material stiffness and rest shape paramete…
Rest Shape Optimization for Sag-Free Discrete Elastic Rods
Tetsuya Takahashi, Christopher Batty
We propose a new rest shape optimization framework to achieve sag-free simulations of discrete elastic rods. To optimize rest shape parameters, we formulate a minimization problem…
