We present a purely geometric, time-independent deformer resolving local contacts between elastic objects, including self-collisions adjacent parts of the same object that often occur in character skinning animation. Starting from multiple meshes intersection, our first computes surfaces remaining contact, and then applies procedural displacement with volume preservation. Although processes eac...

We show that, in relativistic field theories, the thermal correlation function of N bosonic operators at sufficiently spacelike-separated points shows exponentially weak dependence on time variables t_1,...,t_N, when space separations are held fixed. For classical theory, vanishes all spacelike separated

A number of timed-trace formalisms, where systems are modelled by time-varying functions, have been proposed for the formal development of real-time systems. In this paper, we illustrate one such approach via the speciication and reenement of the well-known Steam Boiler Control Problem. The case study illustrates the use of a timed-trace formalism to specify deadlines and other timing constrain...

We present a domain-independent ICA-based approach to watermarking. This approach can be used on images, music or video to embed either a robust or fragile watermark. In the case of robust watermarking, the method shows high information rate and robustness against malicious and nonmalicious attacks, while keeping a low induced distortion. The fragile watermarking scheme, on the other hand, show...
