This paper presents a real-time simulation method for coupling of cloth and fluids computed by using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). To compute interaction between cloth consisting of several polygons and fluid particles, the distance between cloth to the particle have to be calculated. It is computationally expensive because we have to compute the distance to the faces, edges and vertic...

Detailed pathological studies are reported on 20 cloth-covered Beall mitral valve prostheses, which had to be removed for valve failure nine months to 10 years after implantation. Results in all patients except one indicated that there was a progressive and persistent granulomatous reaction that continued up to at least 10 years. Although the rate of tissue ingrowth into the valve decreased wit...

This paper describes an image based clothes detection method. Our method enables daily assistive robots to find clothes which are readily placed on real environments. No prior knowledge related to shape model or color information is needed because wrinkles on a cloth are extracted as image feature. The feature is constructed through SVM learning by using training data which is the result of Gab...

This paper presents a state of the art in the cloth simulation methods and two case studies on how to simulate ancient and high fashion garments with our new Fashionizer platform. The first application concerns the simulation of garments in a cultural heritage project, the Lifeplus project, where we had to simulate in real-time ancient roman clothes. The second application is the simulation of ...

ith the Winter Olympics coming to Turin in February, 2006, bringing a million spectators and thousands of journalists, articles that describe this magnificent Italian city are becoming commonplace. Many journalists rightly feel that they should mention the city’s most famous artifact, the Shroud of Turin. And indeed they should. But what to write? Because the shroud is a religious object, belie...
