    Entropy-driven Progressive Compression of 3D Point Clouds
    (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2024) Zampieri, Armand; Delarue, Guillaume; Bakr, Nachwa Abou; Alliez, Pierre; Hu, Ruizhen; Lefebvre, Sylvain
    3D point clouds stand as one of the prevalent representations for 3D data, offering the advantage of closely aligning with sensing technologies and providing an unbiased representation of a measured physical scene. Progressive compression is required for real-world applications operating on networked infrastructures with restricted or variable bandwidth. We contribute a novel approach that leverages a recursive binary space partition, where the partitioning planes are not necessarily axis-aligned and optimized via an entropy criterion. The planes are encoded via a novel adaptive quantization method combined with prediction. The input 3D point cloud is encoded as an interlaced stream of partitioning planes and number of points in the cells of the partition. Compared to previous work, the added value is an improved rate-distortion performance, especially for very low bitrates. The latter are critical for interactive navigation of large 3D point clouds on heterogeneous networked infrastructures.

    On Shape Design and Optimization of Gerotor Pumps
    (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2024) Pareja-Corcho, Juan C.; Barton, Michael; Pedrera-Busselo, Asier; Mejia-Parra, Daniel; Moreno, Aitor; Posada, Jorge; Hu, Ruizhen; Lefebvre, Sylvain
    A gerotor pump is a two-piece mechanism where two rotational components, interior and exterior, engage each other via a rotational motion to transfer a fluid in a direction parallel to their rotational axes. A natural question arises on what shape of the gerotor is the optimal one in the sense of maximum fluid being pumped for a unit of time, given the constraint of a fixed material needed to manufacture the pump. As there is no closed-formula to answer this question, we propose a new algorithm to design and optimize the shape of gerotor pumps to be as efficient as possible. The proposed algorithm is based on a fast construction of the envelope of the interior component and subsequent optimization. We demonstrate our algorithm on a benchmark gerotor and show that the optimized solution increases the estimated flowrate by 16%. We also use our algorithm to study the effect of the number of teeth on the cavity area of a gerotor.
