Reach For the Arcs: Reconstructing Surfaces from SDFs via Tangent Points

We introduce an algorithm to reconstruct a mesh from discrete samples of a shape's Signed Distance Function (SDF). A simple geometric reinterpretation of the SDF lets us formulate the problem through a point cloud, from which a surface can be extracted wit ...

Region Extraction in Mesh Intersection

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Emiliano Cirillo

Region extraction is a very common task in both Computer Science and Engineering with several applications in object recognition and motion analysis, among others. Most of the literature focuses on regions delimited by straight lines, often in the special ...

New SIDH Countermeasures for a More Efficient Key Exchange

Tako Boris Fouotsa

The Supersingular Isogeny Diffie-Hellman (SIDH) protocol has been the main and most efficient isogeny-based encryption protocol, until a series of breakthroughs led to a polynomial-time key-recovery attack. While some countermeasures have been proposed, th ...

Retraction-based numerical methods for continuation, interpolation and time integration on manifolds

Axel Elie Joseph Séguin

The goal of this thesis is the development and the analysis of numerical methods for problems where the unknown is a curve on a smooth manifold. In particular, the thesis is structured around the three following problems: homotopy continuation, curve inter ...

Novel multi-crack damage approach for pultruded fiber-polymer web-flange junctions

Thomas Keller

This paper aims to propose a novel approach to assess the multi-crack behavior of layered fiber-polymer composites. The Compliance and R-curves generated from this novel approach were useful to understand the multiple delamination process, enabling to eval ...

Variational Methods For Continuous-Domain Inverse Problems: the Quest for the Sparsest Solution

Thomas Jean Debarre

The goal of this thesis is to study continuous-domain inverse problems for the reconstruction of sparse signals and to develop efficient algorithms to solve such problems computationally. The task is to recover a signal of interest as a continuous function ...

Fourier uniqueness and interpolation in Euclidean space

Martin Peter Stoller

We prove that every Schwartz function in Euclidean space can be completely recovered given only its restrictions and the restrictions of its Fourier transform to all origin-centered spheres whose radii are square roots of integers. In particular, the only ...

Neural Set Function Extensions: Learning with Discrete Functions in High Dimensions

Andreas Loukas, Nikolaos Karalias

Integrating functions on discrete domains into neural networks is key to developing their capability to reason about discrete objects. But, discrete domains are (I) not naturally amenable to gradient-based optimization, and (II) incompatible with deep lear ...

Learning to Represent and Reconstruct 3D Deformable Objects

Jan Bednarík

Representing and reconstructing 3D deformable shapes are two tightly linked problems that have long been studied within the computer vision field. Deformable shapes are truly ubiquitous in the real world, whether be it specific object classes such as human ...

Probing the buckling of pressurized spherical shells

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Arefeh Abbasi

The prediction of the critical buckling conditions of shell structures is plagued by imperfection sensitivity. Non-destructive testing through point-load probing has been recently proposed to map the stability landscape of cylindrical shells. However, the ...

Computational Design of Weingarten Surfaces

Mark Pauly, Davide Pellis

In this paper we study Weingarten surfaces and explore their potential for fabrication-aware design in freeform architecture. Weingarten surfaces are characterized by a functional relation between their principal curvatures that implicitly defines approxim ...

Efficient equilibrium-based stress recovery for isogeometric laminated curved structures

Pablo Antolin Sanchez

This work extends the stress recovery for laminated composite solid plates, proposed in [1,2], to curved structures. Based on 3D Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) computations and equilibrium, this procedure uses a single element through the thickness in combina ...

On Linear Interpolation in the Latent Space of Deep Generative Models

Quentin Christian Becker

The underlying geometrical structure of the latent space in deep generative models is in most cases not Euclidean, which may lead to biases when comparing interpolation capabilities of two models. Smoothness and plausibility of linear interpolations in lat ...

Dictionary Learning for Two-Dimensional Kendall Shapes

Michaël Unser, Julien René Fageot, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

We propose a novel sparse dictionary learning method for planar shapes in the sense of Kendall, namely configurations of landmarks in the plane considered up to similitudes. Our shape dictionary method provides a good trade-off between algorithmic simplici ...

Variations on R-curves and traction-separation relations in DCB specimens loaded under end opening forces or pure moments

John Botsis, Georgios Pappas

In this work the differences in R-curve response and traction-separation relations due to a finite damage zone or large-scale bridging (LSB) in mode I fracture on double cantilever beams (DCB) were investigated under end opening forces (EOF) and pure momen ...

Continuous-Domain Signal Reconstruction Using L-p-Norm Regularization

Michaël Unser, Pakshal Narendra Bohra

We focus on the generalized-interpolation problem. There, one reconstructs continuous-domain signals that honor discrete data constraints. This problem is infinite-dimensional and ill-posed. We make it well-posed by imposing that the solution balances data ...

Functional Inverse Problems on Spheres: Theory, Algorithms and Applications

Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Many scientific inquiries in natural sciences involve approximating a spherical field -namely a scalar quantity defined over a continuum of directions- from generalised samples of the latter (e.g. directional samples, local averages, etc). Such an approxim ...

All in Good Time: Long-lasting Postdictive Effects Discrete Perception

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

Is consciousness a continuous stream of percepts or is it discrete, occurring only at certain moments in time? This question has puzzled philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists for centuries. Both hypotheses have fallen repeatedly in and out of fa ...

Isogeometric analysis with C1 hierarchical functions on planar two-patch geometries

Rafael Vazquez Hernandez

Adaptive isogeometric methods for the solution of partial diifferential equations rely on the construction of locally refinable spline spaces. A simple and efficient way to obtain these spaces is to apply the multi-level construction of hierarchical spline ...
