In this paper, we present DR-Occluder, a novel coarse-to-fine framework for occluder generation that leverages differentiable rendering to optimize a triangle set to an occluder. Unlike prior work, which has not utilized differentiable rendering for this task, our approach provides the ability to optimize a 3D shape to defined targets. Given a 3D model as input, our method first projects it to silhouette images, which are then processed by a convolution network to output a group of vertex offsets. These offsets are used to transform a group of distributed triangles into a preliminary occluder, which is further optimized by differentiable rendering. Finally, triangles whose area is smaller than a threshold are removed to obtain the final occluder. Our extensive experiments demonstrate that DR-Occluder significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of occlusion quality. Furthermore, we compare the performance of our method with other approaches in a commercial engine, providing compelling evidence of its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":7077,"journal":{"name":"ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG)","volume":"58 23","pages":"1 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138604952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key focus is to look at a deformable shape generator from a differential geometry perspective. We define a Riemannian metric based on as-rigid-as-possible and as-conformal-as-possible deformation energies. Under this metric, we study two desired properties of the latent space: 1) straight-line interpolations in latent codes follow geodesic curves; 2) latent codes disentangle pose and shape variations at different scales. Strictly enforcing the geometric interpolation property, however, only applies if the metric matrix is a constant. We show how to achieve this property approximately by enforcing that geodesic interpolations are axis-aligned, i.e., interpolations along coordinate axis follow geodesic curves. In addition, we introduce a novel approach that decouples pose and shape variations via generalized eigendecomposition. We also study efficient regularization terms for learning deformable shape generators, e.g., that promote smooth interpolations. Experimental results on benchmark datasets show that our approach leads to interpretable latent codes, improves the generalizability of synthetic shapes, and enhances performance in geodesic interpolation and geodesic shooting.","PeriodicalId":7077,"journal":{"name":"ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG)","volume":"32 25","pages":"1 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138601407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these lattice Boltzmann solvers have recently proven much faster and more accurate than the macroscopic Navier-Stokes-based solvers traditionally used in graphics, it systematically comes at the price of a very large memory requirement: a mesoscopic discretization of statistical mechanics requires over an order of magnitude more variables per grid node than most fluid solvers in graphics. In order to open up kinetic simulation to gaming and simulation software packages on commodity hardware, we propose a HighOrder Moment-Encoded Lattice-Boltzmann-Method solver which we coined HOME-LBM, requiring only the storage of a few moments per grid node, with little to no loss of accuracy in the typical simulation scenarios encountered in graphics.

Algorithmically, the polynomial input surfaces are first covered by a single layer of carefully constructed curved elements using a recursive refinement procedure that provably avoids degeneracies and inversions.

Therefore, instead of reconstructing the detailed surfaces, we aim to recompose the scene with CAD models retrieved from a given dataset to faithfully reflect the object geometry and arrangement in the given scene. Moreover, unlike most of the previous works on scene CAD recomposition requiring an offline reconstructed scene or captured video as input, which leads to significant data redundancy, we propose a novel online scene CAD recomposition method with autonomous scanning, which efficiently recomposes the scene with the guidance of automatically optimized Next-Best-View (NBV) in a single online scanning pass. Based on the key observation that spatial relation in the scene can not only constrain the object pose and layout optimization but also guide the NBV generation, our system consists of two key modules: relation-guided CAD recomposition module that uses relation-constrained global optimization to get accurate object pose and layout estimation, and relation-aware NBV generation module that makes the exploration during the autonomous scanning tailored for our composition task. Extensive experiments have been conducted to show the superiority of our method over previous methods in scanning efficiency and retrieval accuracy as well as the importance of each key component of our method.","PeriodicalId":7077,"journal":{"name":"ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG)","volume":"53 16","pages":"1 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138602325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a specific data structure for hierarchically representing triangle meshes, allowing localized decisions for the desired mesh resolution per ray. Starting with the lowest-resolution triangle mesh level, higher-resolution levels are generated by tessellating each triangle into four via splitting its edges with arbitrarily-placed vertices. We fit the resulting mesh hierarchy into a specialized acceleration structure to perform on-the-fly tessellation level selection during ray traversal. Our structure reduces both storage cost and data movement during rendering, which are the main consumers of energy. It also allows continuous transitions between detail levels, while locally adjusting the mesh resolution per ray and preserving watertightness. We present how this structure can be used with both primary and secondary rays for reflections and shadows, which can intersect with different tessellation levels, providing consistent results. We also propose specific hardware units to cover the cost of additional compute needed for level-of-detail operations. We evaluate our method using a cycle-accurate simulation of a custom ray tracing hardware architecture.

For better match up with the simple shear flow encountered in a rheometer, we modify the flow rule for the elasto-viscoplastic Herschel-Bulkley model. Analyzing the loss landscape for optimization, we realize a similarity relation; material parameters far away within this relation would result in matched simulations, making it hard to distinguish the parameters. We found that by exploiting the setup dependency of the similarity relation, we can improve on the estimation using multiple setups, which we propose by analyzing the Hessian of the similarity relation.

Barbič","doi":"10.1145/3618405","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3618405","url":null,"abstract":"Kirchhoff-Love shells are commonly used in many branches of engineering, including in computer graphics, but have so far been simulated only under limited nonlinear material options. We derive the Kirchhoff-Love thin-shell mechanical energy for an arbitrary 3D volumetric hyperelastic material, including isotropic materials, anisotropic materials, and materials whereby the energy includes both even and odd powers of the principal stretches. We do this by starting with any 3D hyperelastic material, and then analytically computing the corresponding thin-shell energy limit. This explicitly identifies and separates in-plane stretching and bending terms, and avoids numerical quadrature. Thus, in-plane stretching and bending are shown to originate from one and the same process (volumetric elasticity of thin objects), as opposed to from two separate processes as done traditionally in cloth simulation. Because we can simulate materials that include both even and odd powers of stretches, we can accommodate standard mesh distortion energies previously employed for 3D solid simulations, such as Symmetric ARAP and Co-rotational materials. We relate the terms of our energy to those of prior work on Kirchhoff-Love thin-shells in computer graphics that assumed small in-plane stretches, and demonstrate the visual difference due to the presence of our exact stretching and bending terms. Furthermore, our formulation allows us to categorize all distinct hyperelastic Kirchhoff-Love thin-shell energies. Specifically, we prove that for Kirchhoff-Love thin-shells, the space of all hyperelastic materials collapses to two-dimensional hyperelastic materials. This observation enables us to create an interface for the design of thin-shell Kirchhoff-Love mechanical energies, which in turn enables us to create thin-shell materials that exhibit arbitrary stiffness profiles under large deformations.","PeriodicalId":7077,"journal":{"name":"ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG)","volume":"3 5","pages":"1 - 15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138603888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
