Physically based modeling of deformable objects such as cloth or human tissue has grown to be very important for virtual simulations. However, interactive simulation of these nonl...
In this paper we describe a new framework for the tracking of closed curves described through implicit surface modeling. The approach proposed here enables a continuous tracking al...
Applications involving interactive modeling of deformable objects require highly iterative, floating-point intensive numerical simulations. As the complexity of these models incr...

— Research on robotic manipulation has mainly focused on manipulating rigid objects so far. However, many important application domains require manipulating deformable objects, e...
The implicit approach can be used to efficiently model realistically deformable objects for large constraints such as stiffness or time. In soft bodies with pressure forces, model...
The paper presents a joint sensing strategy that combines tactile probing and range imaging for the mapping of the elastic properties that characterize 3D deformable objects. A fee...
