In the field of topology optimization, the homogenization approach has been revived as an important alternative to the established, density-based methods because it can represent the microstructural design at a much finer length-scale than the computational grid. The optimal microstructure for a single load case is an orthogonal rank-3 laminate. A rank-3 laminate can be described in terms of frame fields, which are also an important tool for mesh generation in both 2D and 3D. We propose a method for generating multi-laminar structures from frame fields. Rather than relying on integrative approaches that find a parametrization based on the frame field, we find stream surfaces, represented as point clouds aligned with frame vectors, and we solve an optimization problem to find well-spaced collections of such stream surfaces. The stream surface tracing is unaffected by the presence of singularities outside the region of interest. Neither stream surface tracing nor selecting well-spaced surface rely on combed frame fields. In addition to stream surface tracing and selection, we provide two methods for generating structures from stream surface collections. One of these methods produces volumetric solids by summing basis functions associated with each point of the stream surface collection. The other method reinterprets point sampled stream surfaces as a spatial twist continuum and produces a hexahedralization by dualizing a graph representing the structure. We demonstrate our methods on several frame fields produced using the homogenization approach for topology optimization, boundary-aligned, algebraic frame fields, and frame fields computed from closed-form expressions.
We introduce a new class $mathcal{G}$ of bipartite plane graphs and prove that each graph in $mathcal{G}$ admits a proper square contact representation. A contact between two squares is emph{proper} if they intersect in a line segment of positive len
Differential operators are widely used in geometry processing for problem domains like spectral shape analysis, data interpolation, parametrization and mapping, and meshing. In addition to the ubiquitous cotangent Laplacian, anisotropic second-order
We study metric data structures for curves in doubling spaces, such as trajectories of moving objects in Euclidean $mathbb{R}^d$, where the distance between two curves is measured using the discrete Frechet distance. We design data structures in an e
Warping-based video stabilizers smooth camera trajectory by constraining each pixels displacement and warp stabilized frames from unstable ones accordingly. However, since the view outside the boundary is not available during warping, the resulting h
The problem of {em efficiently} finding the best match for a query in a given set with respect to the Euclidean distance or the cosine similarity has been extensively studied in literature. However, a closely related problem of efficiently finding th
