Hierarchical Optimization of the As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Energy
Abstract The As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible (ARAP) energy [SA07] has become a versatile ingredient in various geometry processing and machine learning methods. The classic method for its minimization is a block coordinate descent, alternating between local rotation estimation and a global linear solve, which converges slowly for large problem instances.

Fast Nodal Hessian Computation for Peridynamic Fracture Simulation
A fast, exact nodal Hessian computation for Non‐Ordinary State‐Based Peridynamics is introduced through analytical simplification and a warp‐centric GPU strategy. The method accelerates preconditioned solvers and Vertex Block Descent, enabling interactive fracture simulation with physical accuracy.

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis causes paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) that is one of the most prevalent systemic human mycoses in Latin America. Armadillos show a high incidence of PCM infection and could, therefore, be a natural reservoir for this fungus ...

Compactly supported detail field for high quality neural implicit surfaces
Abstract Neural implicit surfaces are a powerful tool for encoding a surface as the zero level set of a neural function. Trained using gradient‐descent based optimizers, these methods however suffer from a low‐frequency bias that prevents them to fit fine details of the surface.

Strictly Conservative Neural Distance Fields
Abstract We propose a first method to generate neural unsigned or signed distance fields (SDFs) that are guaranteed to be conservative with respect to a given 3D shape. This means the true distance is never overestimated and the zero‐level set is a bounding volume for the shape. The method makes use of neural network architectures that ensure Lipschitz

A practical algorithm for weighted k‐hulls
Abstract The convex hull is a central concept in computational geometry, geometry processing, and generally for summarizing sampled data. Its descriptive power suffers significantly in the presence of noise. The k‐hull, also known as the k‐depth contour in statistics, is the intersection of all half‐spaces that contain all but k data points, i.e. it is

20: ARMADILLOS TESTED AS POTENTIAL EGG PREDATORS OF WILD TURKEYS IN THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA
To explore indirectly the allegations that armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) are important predators on wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) nests, we placed 42 dummy nests, each containing three to six chicken eggs, in areas of recent armadillo activity in

Abstract We present a fast, robust method for continuous collision detection (CCD) directly between pairs of complex signed distance fields (SDFs). By casting CCD as an alternating spatio‐temporal optimization and driving a small set of smartly sampled surface points along SDF tangent spaces, our approach avoids dense sampling or triangle meshes ...

Recent Trends in Inverse Rendering
This survey reviews 84 papers published between 2020 and 2025 on inverse rendering methods, introducing a taxonomy based on input data, scene representations, optimization strategies, and evaluation methods. We analyze emerging trends in neural, differentiable, and Gaussian‐splatting approaches, discuss applications, and identify key challenges and ...
