Fitting a Woven Fabric Model onto a Surface Based on Energy Minimization

Freeform surface flattening based on fitting a woven mesh model

This paper presents a robust and efficient surface flattening approach based on fitting a woven-like mesh model on a 3D freeform surface. The fitting algorithm is based on tendon node mapping (TNM) and diagonal node mapping (DNM), where TNM determines the position of a new node on the surface along the warp or weft direction and DNM locates a node along the diagonal direction. During the 3D fit...

A Unified Energy Minimization Framework for Model Fitting in Depth

In this paper we present a unified energy minimization framework for model fitting and pose recovery problems in depth cameras. 3D level-set embedding functions are used to represent object models implicitly and a novel 3D chamfer matching based energy function is minimized by adjusting the generic projection matrix, which could be parameterized differently according to specific applications. O...

Fitting a woven cloth model to a curved surface: dart insertion

Woven cloth composite materials have been extensively used to reinforce the structures of automobiles and the airframes of aircraft. It is well-known that a woven cloth composite \ply" has the capability of tting to fairly complex geometries. Fitting here means that a ply is deformed and applied to a 3D surface in such a way that it is in contact everywhere with the surface. However, it is not ...

Fitting a woven-cloth model to a curved surface: mapping algorithms

The problem of tting a 2D broadcloth composite ply (modelled as a piece of deformable woven cloth) onto a 3D curved surface (modelled with a NURBS surface) is considered. \Fitting" means that a ply is deformed and applied to a surface so that it is everywhere in contact with the surface. A tting method is presented that incorporates a exible method for specifying initial conditions, and allows ...
