However, most neural PDE solvers only apply to rectilinear domains and do not systematically address the imposition of boundary conditions over irregular domain boundaries. In this paper, we present a neural framework to solve partial differential equations over domains with irregularly shaped (non-rectilinear) geometric boundaries. Given the shape of the domain as an input (represented as a binary mask), our network is able to predict the solution field, and can generalize to novel (unseen) irregular domains; the key technical ingredient to realizing this model is a physics-informed loss function that directly incorporates the interior-exterior information of the geometry. We also perform a careful error analysis which reveals theoretical insights into several sources of error incurred in the model-building process. Finally, we showcase various applications in 2D and 3D, along with favorable comparisons with ground truth solutions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50632,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Design","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140633402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent years have witnessed significant advancements in deep learning-based point cloud denoising algorithms. These methods, compared to traditional techniques, demonstrate enhanced robustness against noise and produce point cloud data of higher fidelity. Despite their impressive performance, achieving a balance between denoising efficacy and computational efficiency remains a formidable challenge in learning-based methods. To solve this problem, we introduce LPCDNet, a novel lightweight point cloud denoising network. LPCDNet consists of three main components: a lightweight feature extraction module utilizing trigonometric functions for relative position encoding; a non-parametric feature aggregation module to leverage semantic similarities for global context comprehension; and a decoder module designed to realign noise points with the underlying surface. The network is designed to capture both local details and non-local structures, thereby ensuring high-quality denoising outcomes with a minimal parameter count. Extensive experimental evaluations demonstrate that LPCDNet achieves comparable or superior performance to state-of-the-art methods, while significantly reducing the number of learnable parameters and the necessary running time.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50632,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Design","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140401215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use periodic B-spline functions to represent periodic or symmetric porous units. Starting from a voxel representation of a porous sample, the discrete distance field is computed. To fit the discrete distance field with a periodic B-spline, we introduce the constrained least squares progressive-iterative approximation algorithm, which results in an implicit porous unit. This unit can be subject to optimization to enhance connectivity and utilized for topology optimization, thereby improving the model’s stiffness while maintaining periodicity or symmetry. The experimental results demonstrate the potential of the designed complex porous units in enhancing the mechanical performance of the model.

The proposed automated hole-detection method is valuable to the computer-aided design (CAD) community as all boundary-edges within the mesh are utilized and for each boundary-edge the algorithm guarantees both the existence and the uniqueness of the boundary associated to it. As existing hole-detection approaches assume that singular vertices are absent or may require mesh modification, these methods are ill-equipped to detect boundaries/holes in real-world meshes that contain singular vertices. We demonstrate the method in an underwater autonomous robotic application, exploiting surface reconstruction methods based on point cloud data. In such a scenario the determined holes can be interpreted as information gaps, enabling timely corrective action during the data acquisition. However, the scope of our method is not confined to these two sectors alone; it is versatile enough to be applied on any edge-manifold triangle mesh.

The developed methods are able to handle both — (1) On-Surface routing, when the wires are required to be constrained to the surface of the product, and (2) In-Air routing, when in addition to the surface the wires are also allowed to be embedded in product’s ambiance. For the final geometric embedding of the generated harnesses, we present an optimization-based methodology that determines the optimum lengths of the segments over which the wires should be bundled together.
