Detail control in line drawings of 3D meshes
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-09)
We address the problem of rendering a 3D mesh in the style of a line drawing, in which little or no shading is used and instead shape cues are provided by silhouettes and suggestive contours. Our specific goal is to depict ...
Toward Co-Design of Autonomous Aerospace Cyber-Physical Systems.
(2014)
Modern vehicles are equipped with a complex suite of computing (cyber) and electromechanical (physical) systems. Holistic design, modeling, and optimization of such Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) requires new techniques ...
Nonholonomic Virtual Constraints and Gait Optimization for Robust Robot Walking Control.
(2016)
Bipedal locomotion is well suited for mobile robotics because it promises to allow robots to traverse difficult terrain and work effectively in man-made environments. Despite this inherent advantage, however, no existing ...
Discrete Ordinates Methods for Transport Problems with Curved Spatial Grids.
(2015)
The method of characteristics (MOC) has been favored for many recent whole core transport codes; some current research codes are: the nTRACER code from Seoul National University, the MPACT code from the University of ...
Advances in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in Confined Underwater Environments Using Sonar and Optical Imaging.
(2016)
This thesis reports on the incorporation of surface information into a probabilistic simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) framework used on an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) designed for underwater inspection. ...
Concurrent Design of Assembly Plans and Supply Chains: Models, Algorithms, and Strategies.
(2016)
Assembly planning and supply chain designs are two inter-dependent activities in product development. The traditional sequential approach of designing the supply chain after completing assembly planning results in long ...
Finding the Grammar of Generative Craft
(2021)
Art and craft design is challenging even with the assistance of computer-aided design tools. Despite the increasing availability and intelligence of software and hardware, artists continue to find gaps between their practices ...
Design of Sequential Stochastic Computing Systems
(2019)
Stochastic computing (SC) is an unconventional technique that has recently re-emerged as an attractive design alternative to conventional binary computing (BC). SC represents data using probabilistic bit-streams, whose ...
Optimization of Critical Infrastructure with Fluids
(2021)
Many of the world's most critical infrastructure systems control the motion of fluids. Despite their importance, the design, operation, and restoration of these infrastructures are sometimes carried out suboptimally. One ...
Geometric, Semantic, and System-Level Scene Understanding for Improved Construction and Operation of the Built Environment
(2019)
Recent advances in robotics and enabling fields such as computer vision, deep learning, and low-latency data passing offer significant potential for developing efficient and low-cost solutions for improved construction and ...
