Exploring the inner workings of the clove hitch knot

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Tomohiko Sano, Paul Johanns, Paul Grandgeorge

We perform a combined experimental and computational investigation of the clove hitch knot. We develop a physical model for the clove hitch by tying an elastic rod onto a rigid cylinder. In the experiments, we characterize the mechanical performance, geome ...

Thermal coarsening of individual titanate nanowires and their assemblies: Surface vs. bulk diffusion

László Forró, Luca Rossi, Endre Horvath, Massimo Spina, Sergiy Katrych, Laurent Syavoch Bernard, Lidia Rocoffort de Vinnière

The thermal coarsening of titanate nanowires was investigated from room temperature to 1000 degrees C by AFM, SEM, XRD and Raman spectroscopy. Phase transformation kinetics and the external morphology were studied in two configurations: i) as individual an ...

Shake table test of a masonry building retrofitted with shotcrete

Katrin Beyer

This paper presents the results of a series of shake table tests carried out on a half-scale single-story unreinforced masonry building with asymmetric openings. First, the unretrofitted building is subjected to seven increasing steps of bidirectional seis ...

War of Words: The Competitive Dynamics of Legislative Processes

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Victor Kristof

A body of law is an example of a dynamic corpus of text documents that are jointly maintained by a group of editors who compete and collaborate in complex constellations. Our goal is to develop predictive models for this process, thereby shedding light on ...

Reparameterizing Discontinuous Integrands for Differentiable Rendering

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Guillaume Rémi Bruno Loubet

Differentiable rendering has recently opened the door to a number of challenging inverse problems involving photorealistic images, such as computational material design and scattering-aware reconstruction of geometry and materials from photographs. Differe ...

High Fidelity Visualization of Large Scale Digitally Reconstructed Brain Circuitry with Signed Distance Functions

Felix Schürmann, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Sébastien Nicolas Speierer, Alessandro Enrico Foni, Samuel Lieven D. Lapere, Jonas Kristofer Karlsson

We explore a first proof-of-concept application for visualizing large scale digitally reconstructed brain circuitry using signed distance functions. The significance of our method is demonstrated in comparison with using implicit geometry that is limited t ...

A Survey of Surface Reconstruction from Point Clouds

Andrea Tagliasacchi

The area of surface reconstruction has seen substantial progress in the past two decades. The traditional problem addressed by surface reconstruction is to recover the digital representation of a physical shape that has been scanned, where the scanned data ...

Graph-Based Classification of Omnidirectional Images

Pascal Frossard, Renata Khasanova

Omnidirectional cameras are widely used in such areas as robotics and virtual reality as they provide a wide field of view. Their images are often processed with classical methods, which might unfortunately lead to non-optimal solutions as these methods ar ...

3D-modeling of vegetation from LiDAR point clouds and assessment of its impact on façade solar irradiation

Marilyne Andersen, Emmanuel Rey, Giuseppe Peronato

The presence of vegetation can significantly affect the solar irradiation received on building surfaces. Due to the complex shape and seasonal variability of vegetation geometry, this topic has gained much attention from researchers. However, existing meth ...

Light Transport Matrix recovery for nearly planar objects

Martin Vetterli, Paolo Prandoni, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Niranjan Thanikachalam

The light transport matrix has become a powerful tool for scene relighting, owing to the versatility of its representational power of various light transport phenomenon. We argue that scenes with an almost planar surface geometry, even with significant amo ...

The Impact of Spinal Cord Nerve Roots and Denticulate Ligaments on Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics in the Cervical Spine

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in the spinal subarachnoid space (SSS) have been thought to play an important pathophysiological role in syringomyelia, Chiari I malformation (CM), and a role in intrathecal drug delivery. Yet, the impact that fine anatom ...

Geodesic distance for right invariant Sobolev metrics of fractional order on the diffeomorphism group. II

Martins Bruveris

The geodesic distance vanishes on the group of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of a Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry, for the right invariant weak Riemannian metric which is induced by the Sobolev metric of order on the Lie algebra of vector fie ...

New Results in the Theory of Linear and Integer Programming

Nicolai Hähnle

The polynomial Hirsch conjecture states that the vertex-edge diameter of a d-dimensional polyhedron with n facets is bounded by a polynomial in d and n. For the special case where the polyhedron is defined as the set of points satisfying a system Ax ≤ b of ...

Sparse stereo image coding with learned dictionaries

Pascal Frossard, Ivana Tosic, Dimitri Palaz

This paper proposes a framework for stereo image coding with effective representation of geometry in 3D scenes. We propose a joint sparse approximation framework for pairs of perspective images that are represented as linear expansions of atoms selected fr ...

A linear equation for Minkowski sums of polytopes relatively in general position

Christophe Weibel

The objective of this paper is to study a special family of Minkowski sums, that is of polytopes relatively in general position. We show that the maximum number of faces in the sum can be attained by this family. We present a new linear equation that is sa ...

Sampling-aware Polar Descriptors on the Sphere

Pascal Frossard, Zafer Arican

We present a new descriptor and feature matching solution for omnidirectional images. The descriptor builds on the log-polar planar descriptors, but adapts to the specific geometry and non-uniform sampling density of spherical images. We further propose a ...
