In this work, we focus on planning and execution of formation-aware paths for a group of agents traversing a cluttered environment. The proposed planning framework addresses the trade-off between being able to enforce a preferable formation when traversing the corridors of the environment, versus accepting to switch to alternative formations requiring less clearance in order to utilize narrower corridors that can lead to a shorter overall path to the final destination. At the planning stage, this trade-off is addressed with a multi-layer graph annotated with per-layer navigation costs and formation transition costs, where each layer represents one formation together with its specific clearance requirement. At the navigation stage, we introduce Corridor Shortest Path Maps (CSPMs), which produce a vector field for guiding agents along the solution corridor, ensuring unobstructed in-formation navigation in cluttered environments, as well as group motion along lengthwise-optimal paths in the solution corridor. We also present examples of how our multi-layer planning framework can be applied to other types of multi-modal planning problems.This work addresses multi-formation path planning and navigation in cluttered environments. A new multi-layer graph construction and search methodology is proposed for computing global solutions considering formation preferences and required clearances.

Such tasks are often difficult to achieve for various reasons, for example, the size of the parameter space, and supported with visual analytics.

However, most existing point cloud registration methods have limitations in handling non-rigid point sets or topology changes (e.g. connections and separations). As a result, critical characteristics such as large inter-frame motions of the point clouds may not be accurately captured. This paper proposes a statistical algorithm for non-rigid point sets registration, addressing the challenge of handling topology changes without the need to estimate correspondence. The algorithm uses a novel Break and Splice framework to treat the non-rigid registration challenges as a reproduction process and a Dirichlet Process Gaussian Mixture Model (DPGMM) to cluster a pair of point sets. Labels are assigned to the source point set with an iterative classification procedure, and the source is registered to the target with the same labels using the Bayesian Coherent Point Drift (BCPD) method. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves lower registration errors and efficiently registers point sets undergoing topology changes and large inter-frame motions. The proposed approach is evaluated on several data sets using various qualitative and quantitative metrics. The results demonstrate that the Break and Splice framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving an average error reduction of about 60% and a registration time reduction of about 57.8%.}, keywords = {Computer vision; point cloud; Gaussian Mixture Model; non-rigid registration; Topology changes}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1467-8659} } @article{MTMT:34581560, title = {An Efficient Self-supporting Infill Structure for Computational Fabrication}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34581560}, author = {Wang, Shengfa and Liu, Zheng and Hu, Jiangbei and Lei, Na and Luo, Zhongxuan}, doi = {10.1111/cgf.14953}, journal-iso = {COMPUT GRAPH FORUM}, journal = {COMPUTER GRAPHICS FORUM}, volume = {42}, unique-id = {34581560}, issn = {0167-7055}, abstract = {Efficiently optimizing the internal structure of 3D printing models is a critical focus in the field of industrial manufacturing, particularly when designing self-supporting structures that offer high stiffness and lightweight characteristics.

Specifically, the internal space of the model is filled with a combination of self-supporting octahedrons and tetrahedrons, strategically arranged to maximize structural integrity. Our algorithm optimizes the wall thickness of the polyhedron elements to satisfy specific stiffness requirements, while ensuring efficient alignment of the filled structures in finite element calculations.

Previous works have demonstrated promising results for keypoint prediction through direct coordinate regression or heatmap-based inference. However, these methods are commonly studied for specific subjects, such as human bodies and faces, which possess fixed keypoint structures. They also suffer in several practical scenarios where explicit or complete geometry is not given, including images and partial point clouds. Inspired by the recent success of advanced implicit representation in reconstruction tasks, we explore the idea of using an implicit field to represent keypoints. Specifically, our key idea is employing spheres to represent 3D keypoints, thereby enabling the learnability of the corresponding signed distance field. Explicit key-points can be extracted subsequently by our algorithm based on the Hough transform.

The simulation first samples pores on the skin and treats them as nodes in a graph. These nodes are then connected and the resulting edges become candidate wrinkles. An iterative optimization inspired by pedestrian trail formation is then used to assign weights to those edges, i.e., to carve out the wrinkles. Finally, we convert the graph to a detailed skin displacement map using novel shape functions implemented in graphics shaders. Our simulation and displacement map creation steps expose fine controls over the appearance at real-time framerates suitable for interactive exploration and design.
