Abstract Studies in Real−Time Control (RTC) Rainwater Harvesting Systems (RWH) have to date been limited the control of single storages, leaving potential benefits operating multiple storages a coordinated manner largely untested. In this study, we aimed design an optimization‐based RTC strategy that can operate achieve objectives. We modeled long‐term performance approach (i.e., termed as ) ac...

Segmentation of time series of 3D cardiac images is clinically used for the assessment of the mechanical function of the left ventricle. To take into account the 4D (3D+T) nature of those images, we propose to extend the deformable surface framework by introducing time-dependent constraints. Thus, in addition to computing an internal force for enforcing the regularity of the deformable model, p...

This paper presents a mass-spring model for real-time simulation of volume preserving deformable solids. A new type of springs that show collective behaviour was developed called "support springs", which model the "matter" inside the object and make it preserve its volume without the need of explicit volume computations during the simulation as it is done in conventional methods. Comparing the ...

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a powerful technique for the animation of natural phenomena. While early SPH approaches in Computer Graphics have mainly been concerned with liquids or gases, recent research also focuses on the dynamics of deformable solids using SPH. In this paper, we present a novel corotational SPH formulation for deformable solids. The rigid body modes are extracted...

We present a new approach to shape-based segmentation and tracking of multiple, deformable anatomical structures in cardiac MR images. We propose to use an energy-minimizing geometrically deformable template (GDT) which can deform into similar shapes under the in uence of image forces. The degree of deformation of the template from its equilibrium shape is measured by a penalty function associa...

Deformable objects can be used to model soft objects such as clothing, human faces and animal characters. They are important as they can improve the realism of the applications. However, most existing hardware accelerators cannot render deformable objects directly. A tessellation process is often used to convert a deformable object into polygons so that the hardware graphics accelerator may ren...
