An object is called deformable when its shape can be altered according to external stimuli. Contrary to rigid objects, which have a fixed shape, most human organs as well as tissues are deformable. Although rigid objects require for their simulation only translation and rotation properties to be defined, deformable objects demand also deformation parameters to be evaluated, which is usually a c...

A simple but robust control law for the grasping manipulation of deformable objects is presented. In the handling of deformable objects, grasping and manipulation must be performed simultaneously despite uncertainties during the handling process. We will propose a control law to perform grasping and manipulation of deformable objects using a realtime vision system.

Regional water supply systems undergo surplus and deficit conditions due to differences in inflow characteristics as well as due to their seasonal demand patterns. This study proposes a framework for regional water management by proposing an interbasin transfer (IBT) model that uses climate-informationbased inflow forecast for minimizing the deviations from the end-of-season target storage acro...

This thesis deals with surface extraction from noisy volumetric images, which is a common problem in medical image analysis. Due to noise, the use of a-priori information about surface topology and shape is necessary for automatic surface extraction methods. Deformable surface models can incorporate such geometric knowledge into extraction process which is restated as an energy minimization pro...
