A Potential Field Description for Gravity-Driven Film Flow over Piece-Wise Planar Topography

Flow of evaporating, gravity-driven thin liquid films over topography

The effect of topography on the free surface and solvent concentration profiles of an evaporating thin film of liquid flowing down an inclined plane is considered. The liquid is assumed to be composed of a resin dissolved in a volatile solvent with the associated solvent concentration equation derived on the basis of the well-mixed approximation. The dynamics of the film is formulated as a lubr...

Recovery of Piece-Wise Planar and Piece-Wise Rigid Models from Non-Rigid Motion

We present a framework for estimating 3D relative structure (shape) and motion given objects undergoing non-rigid deformation as observed from a fixed camera, under perspective projection. Deforming surfaces are approximated as piece-wise planar, and piece-wise rigid. Robust registration methods allow tracking of corresponding image patches from view to view and recovery of 3D shape despite occ...

PlaneNet: Piece-wise Planar Reconstruction from a Single RGB Image

This paper proposes a deep neural network (DNN) for piece-wise planar depthmap reconstruction from a single RGB image. While DNNs have brought remarkable progress to single-image depth prediction, piece-wise planar depthmap reconstruction requires a structured geometry representation, and has been a difficult task to master even for DNNs. The proposed end-to-end DNN learns to directly infer a s...

Unclassified Report: Flow of a Gravity Driven Thin Liquid Film over Topographies

The coating of thin films on substrates remains an important activity for Philips’ products, like displays, electronic devices and storage media. A characteristic of these products is that they display topographies, or chemical heterogeneities. We are therefore interested in understanding the formation of coating layers from liquid phase on such substrates. This work concentrates on geometric t...
