The idea of using physics-based models has received considerable interest in computer graphics and computer vision research the last ten years. The interest arises from the fact that simple geometric primitives cannot accurately represent natural objects. In computer graphics physics-based models

. Instead of deriving an analytical robot model using either the Newton-Euler or Lagrangian formulation we suggest to employ physics-based simulation engines to simulate the peculiar dynamics of this emerging class of robots and to use the simulated robot model as an internal model for robot control [3

heterogeneous object modeling. Implementation and examples, such as a turbine blade design and prosthesis design, are also presented. They demonstrate that the physics based B-spline modeling method is a convenient, intuitive, and efficient way to model object heterogeneity. �DOI: 10.1115/1.1582877� 1

We present a physically based method for modeling and animating fire. Our method is suitable for both smooth (laminar) and turbulent flames, and it can be used to animate the burning of either solid or gas fuels. We use the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to independently model both

-segmented utero-fetal units using a physics-based interactive modeler.

Physically based modeling has become an important new approach to computer animation and computer graphics modeling. Although physically based modeling is inherently a mathematical subject, the math involved needn’t be any more difficult nor esoteric than the math that underlies many other areas

points are illuminated in our DISCO measurement facility and the object’s impulse response is recorded with a high-dynamic range video camera. The acquired data is resampled into a hierarchical model of the object’s light scattering properties. Missing values are consistently interpolated resulting

It is shown that MoL approach is still suitable for many con-crete models and it has a great potential for parallelization on graphics cards. Quite young

Physically-based modelling is a powerful technique for specifying the laws and characteristics of Virtual Environments (VEs) and the objects they contain. In this paper we describe Iota, a component framework for creating and interacting with multi-body physically-based models in VEs. In conclusion
