An adaptive numerical method for the Vlasov equation based on a multiresolution analysis.
International audienceIn this paper, we present very first results for the adaptive solution on a grid of the phase space of the Vlasov equation arising in particles accelarator and plasma physics. The numerical algorithm is based on a semi-Lagrangian method while adaptivity is obtained using multiresolution analysis
GRAB: A Dataset of Whole-Body Human Grasping of Objects
Training computers to understand, model, and synthesize human grasping
requires a rich dataset containing complex 3D object shapes, detailed contact
information, hand pose and shape, and the 3D body motion over time. While
"grasping" is commonly thought of as a single hand stably lifting an object, we
capture the motion of the entire body and adopt the generalized notion of
"whole-body grasps". Thus, we collect a new dataset, called GRAB (GRasping
Actions with Bodies), of whole-body grasps, containing full 3D shape and pose
sequences of 10 subjects interacting with 51 everyday objects of varying shape
and size. Given MoCap markers, we fit the full 3D body shape and pose,
including the articulated face and hands, as well as the 3D object pose. This
gives detailed 3D meshes over time, from which we compute contact between the
body and object. This is a unique dataset, that goes well beyond existing ones
for modeling and understanding how humans grasp and manipulate objects, how
their full body is involved, and how interaction varies with the task. We
illustrate the practical value of GRAB with an example application; we train
GrabNet, a conditional generative network, to predict 3D hand grasps for unseen
3D object shapes. The dataset and code are available for research purposes at
