  • It involves cutting parts from existing models, positioning them correctly, and utilizing an implicit surface to smoothly connect the boundaries.
  • The method includes a user-friendly interface that allows sketches to define the desired shapes and employs a specialized Marching Cubes algorithm to create the final composed mesh.

Article Abstract

This paper presents a new approach for the mesh composition on models with arbitrary boundary topology. After cutting the needed parts from existing mesh models and putting them into the right pose, an implicit surface is adopted to smoothly interpolate the boundaries of models under composition. An interface is developed to control the shape of the implicit transient surface by using sketches to specify the expected silhouettes. After that, a localized Marching Cubes algorithm is investigated to tessellate the implicit transient surface so that the mesh surface of composed model is generated. Different from existing approaches in which the models under composition are required to have pairwise merging boundaries, the framework developed based on our techniques have the new function to fuse models with arbitrary boundary topology.

Millimeter-wave and terahertz integrated circuits and chips are expected to serve as the backbone for future wireless networks and high resolution sensing. However, design of these integrated circuits and chips can be quite complex, requiring years of human expertise, careful tailoring of hand crafted circuit topologies and co-design with parameterized and pre-selected templates of electromagnetic structures. These structures (radiative and non-radiative, single-port and multi-ports) are subsequently optimized through ad-hoc methods and parameter sweeps.

Due to recent advances in 3D reconstruction from RGB images, it is now possible to create photorealistic representations of real-world scenes that only require minutes to be reconstructed and can be rendered in real time. In particular, 3D Gaussian splatting shows promising results, outperforming preceding reconstruction methods while simultaneously reducing the overall computational requirements. The main success of 3D Gaussian splatting relies on the efficient use of a differentiable rasterizer to render the Gaussian scene representation.

Interactions between magma oceans and overlying atmospheres on young rocky planets leads to an evolving feedback of outgassing, greenhouse forcing, and mantle melt fraction. Previous studies have predominantly focused on the solidification of oxidized Earth-similar planets, but the diversity in mean density and irradiation observed in the low-mass exoplanet census motivate exploration of strongly varying geochemical scenarios. We aim to explore how variable redox properties alter the duration of magma ocean solidification, the equilibrium thermodynamic state, melt fraction of the mantle, and atmospheric composition.

We present a model for the noise and inherent stochasticity of fluorescence signals in both continuous wave (CW) and time-gated (TG) conditions. When the fluorophores are subjected to an arbitrary excitation photon flux, we apply the model and compute the evolution of the probability mass function (pmf) for each quantum state comprising a fluorophore's electronic structure, and hence the dynamics of the resulting emission photon flux. Both the ensemble and stochastic models presented in this work have been verified using Monte Carlo molecular dynamic simulations that utilize the Gillespie algorithm.

Photonic simulators are increasingly used to study physical systems for their affluent manipulable degrees of freedom. The advent of photonic chips offers a promising path towards compact and configurable simulators. Thin-film lithium niobate chips are particularly well suited for this purpose due to the high electro-optic coefficient, which allows for the creation of lattices in the frequency domain.
