Medial Axis Aware Learning of Signed Distance Functions
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We propose a novel variational method to compute a highly accurate global signed distance function (SDF) to a given point cloud. To this end, the jump set of the gradient of the SDF, which coincides with the medial axis of the surface, is explicitly taken into account through a higher‐order variational formulation that enforces linear growth ...

Tangent Blow‐Ups for Processing Non‐Manifold Geometry
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Many geometry processing pipelines implicitly assume their input data is a manifold, or is sampled from one, with a unique tangent plane at every point. Geometric data, however, routinely contains sharp features like edges, corners, self‐intersections, branching junctions, and other singularities, rendering standard methods ill‐defined at ...

CuRast: Cuda‐Based Software Rasterization for Billions of Triangles
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents a CUDA‐based software rasterizer capable of rendering up to a billion unique triangles, or up to 4 billion instanced triangles, in real time at 60 fps on an RTX 5090. By specifically targeting dense, opaque meshes, our approach is able to outperform the native GPU rasterization pipeline in these scenarios.

SharpEdge: Edge Feature Surface Reconstruction From Space Curves
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.SharpEdge reconstructs surfaces with sharp features from sparse 3D curve networks. By estimating dual normals along curves, our method preserves ridges and corners while producing high‐quality meshes. Abstract Reconstructing high‐quality surfaces from sparse 3D space curves remains challenging, particularly when sharp feature edges are involved ...

Children &Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Modern deaths have become reiterations. That is, despite exhibiting a seemingly high‐level of diversity in death's representations in everyday lives, death suffers from a particular onto‐epistemological poverty that prevents it from being imagined otherwise.
