Modelling with implicit surfaces that interpolate [PDF]
We introduce new techniques for modelling withinterpolating implicit surfaces. This form of implicit surface was first used for problems of surface reconstruction and shape transformation, but the emphasis of our work is on model creation. These implicit surfaces are described by specifying locations in 3D through which the surface should pass, and ...

Generating hydrodynamic surfaces by families of Lame curves for modelling submarine hulls
This paper investigates the construction of hydrodynamic surfaces, which are defined by algebraic equations and describe the theoretical hull of a vessel. A technique for automation of generating hydrodynamic surfaces is proposed.

Modelling the appearance of heritage metallic surfaces [PDF]
Polished metallic surfaces exhibit a high degree of specularity, which makes them difficult to reproduce accurately. We have applied two different techniques for modelling a heritage object known as the Islamic handbag. Photogrammetric multi-view stereo

Estimating thermal transmittance of the aluminium window profiles in practice [PDF]
Calculation of the heat flow through the air cavities in the EN ISO 10077-2:2017 standard for the determination of the thermal transmittance of window profiles uses models based on the equivalent thermal conductivity method. The method takes into account

Axelrod's model with surface tension [PDF]
In this work we propose a subtle change in Axelrod's model for the dissemination of culture. The mechanism consists of excluding non-interacting neighbours from the set of neighbours out of which an agent is drawn for potential cultural interactions.

Point clouds are widely used in Earth surface research but usually exhibit gaps of missing data. Previous point cloud restoration methods used in terrain modelling have not fully considered complex terrain characteristics, which can be summarised as the ...
