Zorah Lähner Time-Discrete Geodesics in the Space of Shells Time-Discrete Geodesics in the Space of Shells
Based on a paper from Heeren et al. this report presents a method of finding a natural deformation between two shapes with a given correspondence. It is based on minimizing an energy function derived from results of elasticity theory. Different than other algorithms this energy has only parameters with concrete physical meanings. Furthermore proper discretization methods are presented. The resu...
متن کاملTime-Discrete Geodesics in the Space of Shells
Building on concepts from continuum mechanics, we offer a computational model for geodesics in the space of thin shells, with a metric that reflects viscous dissipation required to physically deform a thin shell. Different from previous work, we incorporate bending contributions into our deformation energy on top of membrane distortion terms in order to obtain a physically sound notion of dista...
متن کاملGeodesics in Shape Space via Variational Time Discretization
A variational approach to defining geodesics in the space of implicitly described shapes is introduced in this paper. The proposed framework is based on the time discretization of a geodesic path as a sequence of pairwise matching problems, which is strictly invariant with respect to rigid body motions and ensures a 1-1 property of the induced flow in shape space. For decreasing time step size,...
متن کاملBounded Geodesics in Moduli Space
In the moduli space of quadratic differentials over complex structures on a surface, we construct a set of full Hausdorff dimension of points with bounded Teichmüller geodesic trajectories. The main tool is quantitative nondivergence of Teichmüller horocycles, due to Minsky and Weiss. This has an application to billiards in rational polygons.
متن کاملScaling solutions and geodesics in moduli space
In this paper we consider cosmological scaling solutions in general relativity coupled to scalar fields with a non-trivial moduli space metric. We discover that the scaling property of the cosmology is synonymous with the scalar fields tracing out a particular class of geodesics in moduli space-those which are constructed as integral curves of the gradient of the log of the potential. Given a g...
