Yang Chen and Gérard Medioni We address the problem of constructing a complete surface model of an object using a set of registered range images. The construction of the surface description is carried out on the set of registered range images. Our approach is based on a dynamic balloon model represented by a triangulated mesh. The vertices in the mesh are linked to their neighboring vertices th...

Conformational properties of star-shaped polymer aggregates that carry attractive end groups, called telechelic star polymers, are investigated by simulation and analytical variational theory. We focus on the case of low telechelic star polymer functionalities, f < or = 5, a condition which allows aggregation of all attractive monomers on one site. We establish the functionality- and polymeriza...

The kernel of a polygon P is the set of all points that see the interior of P . It can be computed as the intersection of the halfplanes that are to the left of the edges of P . We present an O(log log n) time CRCW-PRAM algorithm using n/log log n processors to compute a representation of the kernel of P that allows to answer point containment and line intersection queries efficiently. Our appr...

This work reports a facile and versatile ring-opening metathesis polymerization of three- four-armed star-shaped poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) macromonomers bearing norbornenyl group at each chain end using Grubbs’ third-generation catalyst under diluted condition to obtain graft polymers (GPs) comprising densely arrayed cage-shaped grafted PCLs (GPCLs) with narrow dispersity (1.19–1.35) controlla...

In this paper, we investigate the problem of facial kinship verification by learning hierarchical reasoning graph networks. Conventional methods usually focus on discriminative features for each image a paired sample and neglect how to fuse obtained two reason about relations between them. To address this, propose Star-shaped Reasoning Graph Network (S-RGN). Our S-RGN first constructs star-shap...
