Regularization Of Implicial Fields Representing Objects And Models

US Patent:
6828965, Dec 7, 2004
Filed:
May 22, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/862902
Inventors:
Alyn Rockwood - Colorado Springs CO
Assignee:
Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06T 1700
US Classification:
345420
Abstract:
A method regularizes a distance field of a graphics model or object. The distance field includes variable scalar values and a set of fixed zero values. The zero values define a boundary or surface of the object. The distance field is evaluated by a cost function, optimized according predetermined parameters, to determine a cost of the distance field. The variable scalar values are then randomly perturbed while holding the zero values fixed. The evaluating, determining, perturbing steps are repeated until the cost is less than a predetermined threshold. The distance field can be in the form of a non-differentiable implicial field. A surface of the graphics model can be textured or stenciled by following streamlines along the gradients of the regularized distance field.

Geometric Design And Modeling System Using Control Geometry

US Patent:
7196702, Mar 27, 2007
Filed:
Jul 23, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/360029
Inventors:
John N. Lee - Longmont CO, US
Alyn Rockwood - Colorado Springs CO, US
Lance Hagen - Boulder CO, US
Scott Hagen - Longmont CO, US
Assignee:
FreeDesign, Inc. - Longmont CO
International Classification:
G06T 15/00
US Classification:
345419, 345420, 345964
Abstract:
A method and system for computer aided design (CAD) is disclosed for designing geometric objects. The present invention interpolates and/or blends between such geometric objects sufficiently fast so that real time deformation of such objects occurs while deformation data is being input. Thus, a user designing with the present invention obtains immediate feedback to input modifications without separately entering a command for performing such deformations. The present invention utilizes novel computational techniques for blending between geometric objects, wherein weighted sums of points on the geometric objects are used in deriving a new blended geometric object. The present invention is particularly useful for designing the shape of surfaces. Thus, the present invention is applicable to various design domains such as the design of, e. g. , bottles, vehicles, and watercraft.

Method And Apparatus Of Feature Frame Modeling For Representing Objects And Shapes

US Patent:
2008012, Jun 5, 2008
Filed:
Sep 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/939442
Inventors:
Alyn P. Rockwood - Colorado Springs CO, US
International Classification:
G06T 17/20
US Classification:
345420
Abstract:
Graphical objects are designed, manipulated or deduced by interpolating points, curves, surfaces or hyper surfaces through any number of input features, which are independently given curves, surfaces or hyper surfaces with associated derivative information. The interpolation is based on a new method for parameterizing discrete least squares. Said features may be configured in a topological arrangement specified by the user. The method also provides for patching different graphical objects together along general boundaries.

Surface Patch Techniques For Computational Geometry

US Patent:
2023013, Apr 27, 2023
Filed:
Aug 1, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/816718
Inventors:
- Austin TX, US
Alyn P. Rockwood - Niwot CO, US
Assignee:
CAD-Sense LLC - Austin TX
International Classification:
G06F 30/00
G06T 17/10
G06T 17/30
G06T 15/10
G06F 17/10
Abstract:
A method and system for computer aided design (CAD) is disclosed for designing geometric objects, wherein interpolation and/or blending between such objects is performed while deformation data is being input. Thus, a designer obtains immediate feedback to input modifications without separately entering a command(s) for performing such deformations. A novel N-sided surface generation technique is also disclosed herein to efficiently and accurately convert surfaces of high polynomial degree into a collection of lower degree surfaces. E.g., the N-sided surface generation technique disclosed herein subdivides parameter space objects (e.g., polygons) of seven or more sides into a collection of subpolygons, wherein each subpolygon has a reduced number of sides. More particularly, each subpolygon has 3 or 4 sides. The present disclosure is particularly useful for designing the shape of surfaces. Thus, the present disclosure is applicable to various design domains such as the design of, e.g., bottles, vehicles, and watercraft. Additionally, the present disclosure provides for efficient animation via repeatedly modifying surfaces of an animated object such as a representation of a face.
