SDFs from Unoriented Point Clouds using Neural Variational Heat Distances

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We propose a novel variational approach for computing neural Signed Distance Fields (SDF) from unoriented point clouds. We first compute a small time step of heat flow (middle) and then use its gradient directions to solve for a neural SDF (right). Abstract We propose a novel variational approach for computing neural Signed Distance Fields (SDF) from ...

Approximation properties relative to continuous scale space for hybrid discretisations of Gaussian derivative operators

open access: yesFrontiers in Signal Processing
This paper presents an analysis of properties of two hybrid discretisation methods for Gaussian derivatives, based on convolutions with either the normalised sampled Gaussian kernel or the integrated Gaussian kernel followed by central differences.

Modelling of continuously distributed target for bistatic synthetic aperture radar imaging

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2020
The point target model is widely used in the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging simulation. Based on this model, the radar echo of a continuously distributed target can be expressed as the linear summation of the echo of many point targets which are ...

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

Non‐Rigid 3D Shape Correspondences: From Foundations to Open Challenges and Opportunities

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating correspondences between deformed shape instances is a long‐standing problem in computer graphics; numerous applications, from texture transfer to statistical modelling, rely on recovering an accurate correspondence map. Many methods have thus been proposed to tackle this challenging problem from varying perspectives, depending on ...

Mixed Super‐Circles

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We introduce mixed super‐circles, a position‐curvature formulation of the original dynamic 2D super‐helix model. Compared to the latter, purely curvature‐based model – the so‐called chained formulation –, the mixed formulation that we propose here drastically reduces the algorithmic complexity of the solving scheme – from quadratic to quasi ...

Scale‐robust fibre orientation analysis of hair using two‐dimensional Fourier transform

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
We present a simple and robust method to quantify hair fibre orientation using 2D‐DFT. It works with standard images and extracts directional features at multiple scales. This enables objective evaluation of cosmetic treatments and product effects. Abstract Objective To address the current lack of standardized tools for evaluating hair appearance in ...

An Uncertainty Based Approach for Dealing With Selection Bias in Non‐Probability Samples

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary The main issue with non‐probability samples is that the standard design‐based approach cannot be applied as the selection mechanism is unknown. In this paper, the concept of uncertainty on data generating model, resulting from the lack of knowledge of the sampling design acting in the non‐probability sample, is discussed.

The peridynamic equation and its spatial discretisation

open access: yesMathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2007
Different spatial discretisation methods for solving the peridynamic equation of motion are suggested. The methods proposed are tested for a linear microelastic material of infinite length in one spatial dimension. Moreover, the conservation of energy is

A Comparative Review of Specification Tests for Diffusion Models

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Diffusion models play an essential role in modelling continuous‐time stochastic processes in the financial field. Therefore, several proposals have been developed in the last decades to test the specification of stochastic differential equations.
