We propose a novel approach for performing convolution of signals on curved surfaces and show its utility in a variety of geometric deep learning applications. Key to our construction is the notion of directional functions defined on the surface, which extend the classic real-valued signals and which can be naturally convolved with with real-valued template functions. As a result, rather than trying to fix a canonical orientation or only keeping the maximal response across all alignments of a 2D template at every point of the surface, as done in previous works, we show how information across all rotations can be kept across different layers of the neural network. Our construction, which we call multi-directional geodesic convolution, or directional convolution for short, allows, in particular, to propagate and relate directional information across layers and thus different regions on the shape. We first define directional convolution in the continuous setting, prove its key properties and then show how it can be implemented in practice, for shapes represented as triangle meshes. We evaluate directional convolution in a wide variety of learning scenarios ranging from classification of signals on surfaces, to shape segmentation and shape matching, where we show a significant improvement over several baselines.

Nowadays, big data of digital media (including images, videos and 3D graphical models) are frequently modeled as low-dimensional manifold meshes embedded in a high-dimensional feature space. In this paper, we summarized our recent work on geodesic ce ntroidal Voronoi tessellations(GCVTs), which are intrinsic geometric structures on manifold meshes. We show that GCVT can find a widely range of interesting applications in computer vision and graphics, due to the efficiency of search, location and indexing inherent in these intrinsic geometric structures. Then we present the challenging issues of how to build the combinatorial structures of GCVTs and establish their time and space complexities, including both theoretical and algorithmic results.
Numerical computation of shortest paths or geodesics on curved domains, as well as the associated geodesic distance, arises in a broad range of applications across digital geometry processing, scientific computing, computer graphics, and computer vis ion. Relative to Euclidean distance computation, these tasks are complicated by the influence of curvature on the behavior of shortest paths, as well as the fact that the representation of the domain may itself be approximate. In spite of the difficulty of this problem, recent literature has developed a wide variety of sophisticated methods that enable rapid queries of geodesic information, even on relatively large models. This survey reviews the major categories of approaches to the computation of geodesic paths and distances, highlighting common themes and opportunities for future improvement.
Hermite-Gaussian (HG) laser modes are a complete set of solutions to the free-space paraxial wave equation in Cartesian coordinates and represent a close approximation to physically-realizable laser cavity modes. Additionally, HG modes can be mode-mu ltiplexed to significantly increase the information capacity of optical communication systems due to their orthogonality. Since, both cavity tuning and optical communication applications benefit from a machine vision determination of HG modes, convolution neural networks were implemented to detect the lowest twenty-one unique HG modes with an accuracy greater than 99%. As the effectiveness of a CNN is dependent on the diversity of its training data, extensive simulated and experimental datasets were created for training, validation and testing.

In additive manufacturing, infill structures are commonly used to reduce the weight and cost of a solid part. Currently, most infill structure generation methods are based on the conventional 2.5-axis printing configuration, which, although able to s atisfy the self-supporting condition on the infills, suffer from the well-known stair-case effect on the finished surface and the need of extensive support for overhang features. In this paper, based on the emerging continuous multi-axis printing configuration, we present a new lattice infill structure generation algorithm, which is able to achieve both the self-supporting condition for the infills and the support-free requirement at the boundary surface of the part. The algorithm critically relies on the use of three mutually orthogonal geodesic distance fields that are embedded in the tetrahedral mesh of the solid model. The intersection between the iso-geodesic distance surfaces of these three geodesic distance fields naturally forms the desired lattice of infill structure, while the density of the infills can be conveniently controlled by adjusting the iso-values. The lattice infill pattern in each curved slicing layer is trimmed to conform to an Eulerian graph so to generate a continuous printing path, which can effectively reduce the nozzle retractions during the printing process. In addition, to cater to the collision-free requirement and to improve the printing efficiency, we also propose a printing sequence optimization algorithm for determining a collision-free order of printing of the connected lattice infills, which seeks to reduce the air-move length of the nozzle. Ample experiments in both computer simulation and physical printing are performed, and the results give a preliminary confirmation of the advantages of our methodology.

Analyzing particle data plays an important role in many scientific applications such as fluid simulation, cosmology simulation and molecular dynamics. While there exist methods that can perform feature extraction and tracking for volumetric data, per forming those tasks for particle data is more challenging because of the lack of explicit connectivity information. Although one may convert the particle data to volume first, this approach is at risk of incurring error and increasing the size of the data. In this paper, we take a deep learning approach to create feature representations for scientific particle data to assist feature extraction and tracking. We employ a deep learning model, which produces latent vectors to represent the relation between spatial locations and physical attributes in a local neighborhood. With the latent vectors, features can be extracted by clustering these vectors. To achieve fast feature tracking, the mean-shift tracking algorithm is applied in the feature space, which only requires inference of the latent vector for selected regions of interest. We validate our approach using two datasets and compare our method with other existing methods.
