We present an online system for automatic smart face morphing, which can be accessed at http://facewarping.com. This system morphs the user-uploaded image to “beautify” it by embedding features from a user-selected celebrity. This system consists of three major modules: facial feature point detection, geometry embedding, and image warping. To embed the features of a celebrity face and at the sa...

BACKGROUND The gold-standard treatment of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) due to degenerative disease is valve repair, which is surgically performed with either a leaflet resection or leaflet preservation approach. Recent data suggest that functional mitral stenosis (MS) may occur following valve repair using a leaflet resection strategy, which adversely affects patient prognosis. A randomised...

For the planning of large infrastructure projects, such as tunnelled inner-city carriageways, completely different scales have to be considered – ranging from the scale of several kilometres for the general routing of the carriageway down to centimetre scale for the detailed planning of track nodes. However, today’s planning software hardly supports multi-scale approaches. The paper presents a ...

My research agenda is built on formulating problems in analysis, geometry and topology for a computational realization and conversely, use of computation for formalizing notions in analysis, geometry and topology. The former stems from a motivation to provide solutions for problems in science and engineering using tools of scientific and high performance computing while the latter encapsulates ...

This paper presents a deep normal filtering network, called DNF-Net, for mesh denoising. To better capture local geometry, our network processes the in terms of patches extracted from mesh. Overall, DNF-Net is an end-to-end that takes facet normals as inputs and directly outputs corresponding denoised patches. In this way, we can reconstruct geometry with feature preservation. Besides overall a...

Abstract Phase Change Materials (PCMs) as thermal energy storage can store a relatively large amount of latent heat at constant temperature during the solid to liquid (melting process), or vice versa. With many applications PCM regulation such for building application, heating, cooling devices battery, electronic, food preservation, and medicine, geometry effect is significant optimize its perf...

this paper concerns the design and analysis, of a ball type continuously variable transmission, (b-cvt). this b-cvt has a simple kinematic structure, and same as a toroidal cvt, transmits power by friction on the contact points between input and output discs, that are connected to each other by balls. after, a brief introduction of our b-cvt structure, the performance and traction efficiency of...
