Tomorrow at TelecomNancy, another episode, with a demonstration of FemtoRV, the minimalistic Risc-V core, and some experiments with C/C++ programming: we are going to write WRONG programs, see what happens, try to understand what happens, deduce the good habits.

my Minkowski is both much slower than OpenCascade's and buggy, but I started last month 😀
(and the context is different, it takes polygonal meshes instead of NURBS, but it is no excuse, NURBS are harder I'd say !!)

RING meeting in Nancy,
Cyprien Plateau--Holleville presented presented his awesome work on exact integration of the differential quantities involved in Partial Optimal Transport. And that's not all: It comes with a combined physsim - Optimal Transport - rendering on the GPU !

Hichem's method first creates a superset of the Minkowski sum (first image) that needs to be cleaned (second image). For the cleaning phase, my algorithm in dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... seems to work reasonably well...

Intermediary result, a superset of the Minkowski sum, obtained after phase I of Hichem Barki's algorithm.

Contributing vertices-based Minkowski difference (CVMD) of polyhedra and applications | 3D Research

Minkowski sum and difference, well known as dilation and erosion in image analysis, constitute the kernel of mathematical morphology. Extending the interesting results of the later theory from 2D images to 3D meshes is very promising. However, this ...

Our article "Large-scale semi-discrete optimal transport with distributed Voronoi diagrams" (with Nicolas Ray, Quentin Merigot and Hugo Leclerc) just got accepted by Journal of Computational Physics. Pushing the limits of Optimal Transport by several orders of magnitude !

A cosmological simulation, showing the cosmic web, with 300 million galaxy clusters. A nice test case for the new algorithm !
