PHRIT: Parametric Hand Representation with Implicit Template
We propose PHRIT, a novel approach for parametric hand mesh modeling with an
implicit template that combines the advantages of both parametric meshes and
implicit representations. Our method represents deformable hand shapes using
signed distance fields (SDFs) with part-based shape priors, utilizing a
deformation field to execute the deformation. The model offers efficient
high-fidelity hand reconstruction by deforming the canonical template at
infinite resolution. Additionally, it is fully differentiable and can be easily
used in hand modeling since it can be driven by the skeleton and shape latent
codes. We evaluate PHRIT on multiple downstream tasks, including
skeleton-driven hand reconstruction, shapes from point clouds, and single-view
3D reconstruction, demonstrating that our approach achieves realistic and
immersive hand modeling with state-of-the-art performance.Comment: Accepted by ICCV202
Addressing the challenges of implementation of high-order finite volume schemes for atmospheric dynamics of unstructured meshes
The solution of the non-hydrostatic compressible Euler equations using Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) schemes in two and three-dimensional unstructured meshes, is presented. Their key characteristics are their simplicity; accuracy; robustness; non-oscillatory properties; versatility in handling any type of grid topology; computational and parallel efficiency. Their defining characteristic is a non-linear combination of a series of high-order reconstruction polynomials arising from a series of reconstruction stencils. In the present study an explicit TVD Runge-Kutta 3rd -order method is employed due to its lower computational resources requirement compared to implicit type time advancement methods. The WENO schemes (up to 5th -order) are applied to the two dimensional and three dimensional test cases: a 2D rising
