Designing a quasi-spherical module for a huge modular robot to create programmable matter

B Piranda, J Bourgeois - Autonomous Robots, 2018 - Springer
There are many ways to implement programmable matter. One is to build it as a huge
modular self-reconfigurable robot composed of a large set of spherical micro-robots, like in …

Sufficient Conditions for Topology-Preserving Parallel Reductions on the Face-Centered Cubic Grid

G Karai, P Kardos, K Palágyi - Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, 2024 - Springer
Topology preservation is a crucial issue in parallel reductions that transform binary pictures
by changing only a set of black points to white at a time. In this paper, we present sufficient …

Discrete optimization: the case of generalized BCC lattice

G Kovács, B Nagy, G Stomfai, ND Turgay, B Vizvári - Mathematics, 2021 - mdpi.com
Recently, operations research, especially linear integer-programming, is used in various
grids to find optimal paths and, based on that, digital distance. The 4 and higher …

Retailoring box splines to lattices for highly isotropic volume representations

B Csébfalvi, G Rácz - Computer Graphics Forum, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract 3D box splines are defined by convolving a 1D box function with itself along
different directions. In volume visualization, box splines are mainly used as reconstruction …

Cosine‐Weighted B‐Spline Interpolation on the Face‐Centered Cubic Lattice

GF Racz, B Csébfalvi - Computer Graphics Forum, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Cosine‐Weighted B‐spline (CWB) interpolation [Csé13] has been originally
proposed for volumetric data sampled on the Body‐Centered Cubic (BCC) lattice. The BCC …

Corner-based implicit patches

Á Sipos - arXiv preprint arXiv:2207.00806, 2022 - arxiv.org
Multi-sided surfaces are often defined by side interpolants (also called ribbons), ie the
surface has to connect to the ribbons with a prescribed degree of smoothness. The I-patch is …
