We introduce a robust optimization method for flip-free distortion energies used, for example, in parametrization, deformation, and volume correspondence. This method can minimize a variety of distortion energies, such as the symmetric Dirichlet energy and our new symmetric gradient energy. We identify and exploit the special structure of distortion energies to employ an operator splitting technique, leading us to propose a novel Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) algorithm to deal with the non-convex, non-smooth nature of distortion energies. The scheme results in an efficient method where the global step involves a single matrix multiplication and the local steps are closed-form per-triangle/per-tetrahedron expressions that are highly parallelizable. The resulting general-purpose optimization algorithm exhibits robustness to flipped triangles and tetrahedra in initial data as well as during the optimization. We establish the convergence of our proposed algorithm under certain conditions and demonstrate applications to parametrization, deformation, and volume correspondence.

We propose a three-dimensional holographic reconstruction procedure applicable with no a priori knowledge about the recording conditions enabling distortion-free three-dimensional object reconstruction.
Low isometric distortion is often required for mesh parameterizations. A configuration of some vertices, where the distortion is concentrated, provides a way to mitigate isometric distortion, but determining the number and placement of these vertices is non-trivial. We call these vertices distortion points. We present a novel and automatic method to detect distortion points using a voting strategy. Our method integrates two components: candidate generation and candidate voting. Given a closed triangular mesh, we generate candidate distortion points by executing a three-step procedure repeatedly: (1) randomly cut an input to a disk topology; (2) compute a low conformal distortion parameterization; and (3) detect the distortion points. Finally, we count the candidate points and generate the final distortion points by voting. We demonstrate that our algorithm succeeds when employed on various closed meshes with a genus of zero or higher. The distortion points generated by our method are utilized in three applications, including planar parameterization, semi-automatic landmark correspondence, and isotropic remeshing. Compared to other state-of-the-art methods, our method demonstrates stronger practical robustness in distortion point detection.
Robustly handling collisions between individual particles in a large particle-based simulation has been a challenging problem. We introduce particle merging-and-splitting, a simple scheme for robustly handling collisions between particles that preven ts inter-penetrations of separate objects without introducing numerical instabilities. This scheme merges colliding particles at the beginning of the time-step and then splits them at the end of the time-step. Thus, collisions last for the duration of a time-step, allowing neighboring particles of the colliding particles to influence each other. We show that our merging-and-splitting method is effective in robustly handling collisions and avoiding penetrations in particle-based simulations. We also show how our merging-and-splitting approach can be used for coupling different simulation systems using different and otherwise incompatible integrators. We present simulation tests involving complex solid-fluid interactions, including solid fractures generated by fluid interactions.

Mesh distortion optimization is a popular research topic and has wide range of applications in computer graphics, including geometry modeling, variational shape interpolation, UV parameterization, elastoplastic simulation, etc. In recent years, many solvers have been proposed to solve this nonlinear optimization efficiently, among which projected Newton has been shown to have best convergence rate and work well in both 2D and 3D applications. Traditional Newton approach suffers from ill conditioning and indefiniteness of local energy approximation. A crucial step in projected Newton is to fix this issue by projecting energy Hessian onto symmetric positive definite (SPD) cone so as to guarantee the search direction always pointing to decrease the energy locally. Such step relies on time consuming eigen decomposition of element Hessian, which has been addressed by several work before on how to obtain a conjugacy that is as diagonal as possible. In this report, we demonstrate an analytic form of Hessian eigen system for distortion energy defined using principal stretches, which is the most general representation. Compared with existing projected Newton diagonalization approaches, our formulation is more general as it doesnt require the energy to be representable by tensor invariants. In this report, we will only show the derivation for 3D and the extension to 2D case is straightforward.

Continuous collision detection (CCD) and response methods are widely adopted in dynamics simulation of deformable models. They are history-based, as their success is strictly based on an assumption of a collision-free state at the start of each time interval. On the other hand, in many applications surfaces have normals defined to designate their orientation (i.e. front- and back-face), yet CCD methods are totally blind to such orientation identification (thus are orientation-free). We notice that if such information is utilized, many penetrations can be untangled. In this paper we present a history-free method for separation of two penetrating meshes, where at least one of them has clarified surface orientation. This method first computes all edge-face (E-F) intersections with discrete collision detection (DCD), and then builds a number of penetration stencils. On response, the stencil vertices are relocated into a penetration-free state, via a global displacement minimizer. Our method is very effective for handling penetration between two meshes, being it an initial configuration or in the middle of physics simulation. The major limitation is that it is not applicable to self-collision within one mesh at the time being.
