According to the New Testament’s book of John, Roman soldiers “flogged” Jesus of Nazareth, “twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head,” “struck him in the face,” and, along with two others, “crucified him.” Because the next day was unsuitable for the display of crucified individuals, a request that those crucified have their “legs broken” and their “bodies taken down” was made a...

We present a GPU-based streaming algorithm to perform high-resolution and accurate cloth simulation. We map all the components of cloth simulation pipeline, including time integration, collision detection, collision response, and velocity updating to GPU-based kernels and data structures. Our algorithm perform intra-object and inter-object collisions, handles contacts and friction, and is able ...

Cloth manipulation by robots is gaining popularity among researchers because of its relevance, mainly (but not only) in domestic and assistive robotics. The required science and technologies begin to be ripe for the challenges posed by the manipulation of soft materials, and many contributions have appeared in the last years. This survey provides a systematic review of existing techniques for t...

The Shroud of Turin is a 4.4 x 1.1 m linen cloth bearing the front and back body images, accompanied by blood, images, of what appears to be a crucified man. As it is alleged to be the actual burial cloth of Jesus, it is a most controversial object. Many of those not accepting this claim have asserted that it is just a painting, although it is now clear that the blood images are due to the clot...

Garment creation continues to be the most tedious part of the virtual clothing process. In this paper, we present an easy to use sketch-based cloth modeling approach. Contours can be easily sketched on a mannequin to generate quad meshes to represent pieces of cloth already fit and draped. Typically, the clothing process depends highly on the meshing scheme that has to infer its geometry from t...

This report is a summary of research conducted on cloth tracking for automated textile manufacturing during a two semester long research course at Georgia Tech. This work was completed in 2009. Advances in current sensing technology such as the Microsoft Kinect would now allow me to relax certain assumptions and generally improve the tracking performance. This is because a major part of my appr...

This paper presents a model of cloth dyeing using the characteristics of the thread and weave pattern. The proposed dyeing model is based on Fick’s second law that defines the molecular transfer under translational diffusion [Fic85]. The algorithm in the proposed model calculates the dyeing distribution from parameters such as the amount of dyeing, saturated amount, and pressure in each cell on...

ÐThis paper discusses the self-collision avoidance problem in simulating the dynamic behavior of deformable cloth. It is not an easy task to simulate realistically the response of cloth in various types of complicated self-collisions. In this paper, the bounding box technique in addition to ordinary prechecking for collision detection is used to avoid self-collision. Instead of avoiding self-co...
