We present a new collision resolution scheme for cloth collisions. Our main concern is to find dynamically convincing resolutions, i.e. positions and velocities of cloth elements, for any kinds of collisions occuring in cloth simulation (cloth-cloth, cloth-rigid, and cloth-cloth-rigid). We define our cloth surface as connected faces of mass particles where each particle is controlled by its int...

Cloth animation is a very expensive process in terms of computational cost, due to the flexible nature of cloth objects. Since wrinkles and smooth areas co-exist commonly in cloth, it is tempting to reduce computational cost by avoiding redundant tessellation at the smooth areas. In this paper we present a method for dynamic adaptation of triangular meshes suitable for cloth simulation. A botto...

The field of cloth-modeling has been widely investigated during the last decade. Many solutions have been proposed for the different aspects related to that field, ranging from fast cloth integration methods to complex collision handling. However, it is still challenging to perform simulations in real-time without compromise. In this thesis, we base our work on fast collision detection methods ...

We propose a novel, multi-resolution method to efficiently perform large-scale cloth simulation. Our cloth simulation method is based on a triangle-based energy model constructed from a cloth mesh. We identify that solutions of the linear system of cloth simulation are smooth in certain regions of the cloth mesh and solve the linear system on those regions in a reduced solution space. Then we r...

The work deals with the task of robotic perception/manipulation with soft materials, in particular with clothes and garments. It is part of the diploma thesis project of the first author. The report serves two main purposes. First, it surveys related work. Second, it outlines a subproblem, namely the task how the cloth (garment) should be modeled/represented to enable robotic tasks such as fold...

Cloth simulation has a long history, starting almost three decades ago. Thanks to the continuous increase of computation speed of computers, real-time simulation of clothes has become very recently possible. The research on real-time clothes has really begun few years ago when researchers have started simulating simple garments such as flags or tablecloths. Nowadays, the research aims at propos...

The powering requirement of a land yacht is one of the most important aspects of its design. In this respect the wind tunnel testing is an effective design tool. In fact, changing the parameters of the vehicle and testing the changes in the wind tunnel will give us a better understanding of the most efficient vehicle, and yet it is time consuming, expensive, and has inherent scaling errors. Ano...
