We present a new hybrid CPU/GPU collision detection technique for rigid and deformable
objects based on spatial subdivision. Our approach efficiently exploits the massive …

In this paper we address the problem of fast construction of spatial hierarchies for ray tracing
with applications in animated environments including non-rigid animations. We discuss the …

As multi-core processor systems become more and more widespread, the demand for
efficient parallel algorithms also propagates into the field of computer graphics. This is …

This paper presents a new method for cloth simulation, which uses asynchronous variants of
both time integration and collision handling. Implicit integration methods like backward Euler …

We present an interactive algorithm to perform continuous collision detection between
general deformable models using graphics processors (GPUs). We model the motion of …

We present a practical approach for automatically estimating the material properties of soft
bodies from two sets of images, taken before and after deformation. We reconstruct 3D …

This paper presents a method for computing topology changes for triangle meshes in an
interactive geometric modeling environment. Most triangle meshes in practice do not exhibit …

Estimation of tissue stiffness is an important means of noninvasive cancer detection. Existing
elasticity reconstruction methods usually depend on a dense displacement field (inferred …

Physically based simulation of cloth in virtual environments is a computationally demanding
problem. It involves modeling the internal material properties of the textile (physical …

The lack of clear visibility and spatial awareness frequently results in construction accidents
such as workers being struck by heavy equipment; and collisions between equipment and …
