Progressively Projected Newton's Method
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Newton's Method is widely used to find the solution of complex non‐linear simulation problems. To guarantee a descent direction, it is common practice to clamp the negative eigenvalues of each element Hessian prior to assembly—a strategy known as Projected Newton (PN)—but this perturbation often hinders convergence.

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

A Very Short History of Dynamic and Procedural Content Generation
, 2017 This chapter portrays the historical and mathematical background of dynamic and procedural content generation (PCG). We portray and compare various PCG methods and analyze which mathematical approach is suited for typical applications in game design.

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We propose a novel framework for the statistical modeling and analysis of the spatio‐temporal shape variability in articulated 4D (i.e., 3D + time) shapes such as human bodies and animals. We treat articulated 3D shapes, represented using parametric models such as SMPL or its variants, as elements of the product space of shape and pose ...

Can Coercive Vertical Consolidation Improve the Financial Condition of Local Authorities?
Financial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vertical consolidation of small local authorities providing neighborhood services and large authorities providing strategic services into unitary authorities is assumed to improve financial condition by creating new economies of scale and scope.

Evaluating the Expressive Range of Super Mario Bros Level Generators
AlgorithmsProcedural Content Generation for video games (PCG) is widely used by today’s video game industry to create huge open worlds or enhance replayability. However, there is little scientific evidence that these systems produce high-quality content.

Histopathology, EarlyView.Hybrid grading systems significantly improve progression‐risk stratification in non‐invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma compared with the WHO 2004/2016 binary classification, with most benefit achieved by a Hybrid 3‐Tier framework. These findings support the existence of a histomorphological continuum of progression risk within the conventional ...
