... refinement method is for each element in a mesh. Fig.1 is a hexahedral element of a mesh. The conditions (MC) are for tetrahedra only. The following process describes how to use the conditions (MC) to refine a hexahedral element in a given mesh. The refinement process is as follows. 1) Subdivide a hexahedron into five tetrahedra as shown in Fig. 2 and check if l V satisfies the law of mass conservation on all these tetrahedra. If yes, no refinement for the hexahedron is required. If no, go to Step 2. 2) Apply the conditions (MC) to all of the tetrahedra in Fig. 2. If the conditions (MC) are satisfied on these tetrahedra, there is no need to subdivide the hexahedron. Otherwise, ...

If the conditions (MC) are satisfied on these tetrahedra, there is no need to subdivide the hexahedron. Otherwise, we need to subdivide the hexahedron into a number of small hexahedral elements such that the lengths of all sides of the small hexahedral elements are truly reduced (e.g. half). 3) Take the smaller hexahedra in the ...

In this paper, we present Skeleton Transformer Networks (SkeletonNet), an end-to-end framework that can predict not only 3D joint positions but also 3D angular pose (bone rotations) of a human skeleton from a single color image. This in turn allows us to generate skinned mesh animations. Here, we propose a two-step regression approach. The first st...

Summary An adaptive three-dimensional mesh refinement method based on the law of mass conservation has been introduced and tested using some analytical velocity fields as accurate in identifying singular point, asymptotic plane and drawing closed streamlines. This paper further investigates the adaptive mesh refinement method using a velocity field that is due to a uniform strain and a point vortex. Similar results have been obtained.
