    Learning Elastic Constitutive Material and Damping Models

    Commonly used linear and nonlinear constitutive material models in deformation simulation contain many simplifications and only cover a tiny part of possible material behavior. In this work we propose a framework for learning customized models of deformable materials from example surface trajectories. The key idea is to iteratively improve a correction to a nominal model of the elastic and damping properties of the object, which allows new forward simulations with the learned correction to more accurately predict the behavior of a given soft object. Space-time optimization is employed to identify gentle control forces with which we extract necessary data for model inference and to finally encapsulate the material correction into a compact parametric form. Furthermore, a patch based position constraint is proposed to tackle the challenge of handling incomplete and noisy observations arising in real-world examples. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method with a set of synthetic examples, as well with data captured from real world homogeneous elastic objects.

    PointSkelCNN: Deep Learning-Based 3D Human Skeleton Extraction from Point Clouds
    (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020) Qin, Hongxing; Zhang, Songshan; Liu, Qihuang; Chen, Li; Chen, Baoquan; Eisemann, Elmar and Jacobson, Alec and Zhang, Fang-Lue
    A 3D human skeleton plays important roles in human shape reconstruction and human animation. Remarkable advances have been achieved recently in 3D human skeleton estimation from color and depth images via a powerful deep convolutional neural network. However, applying deep learning frameworks to 3D human skeleton extraction from point clouds remains challenging because of the sparsity of point clouds and the high nonlinearity of human skeleton regression. In this study, we develop a deep learning-based approach for 3D human skeleton extraction from point clouds. We convert 3D human skeleton extraction into offset vector regression and human body segmentation via deep learning-based point cloud contraction. Furthermore, a disambiguation strategy is adopted to improve the robustness of joint points regression. Experiments on the public human pose dataset UBC3V and the human point cloud skeleton dataset 3DHumanSkeleton compiled by the authors show that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.
