National Initiatives

Samuel Hornus has a continued cooperation with the Scientific Foundation Fourmentin-Guilbert on the Graphite-LifeExplorer software.

ANR

Sylvain Lefebvre has a continued collaboration with our industrial partners Allegorithmic and the CSTB through the ANR SIMILAR-CITIES.

Dmitry Sokolov is involved in the ANR COSINUS ModItère (ANR-09-COSI-014) which goal is to design a new geometric modeller based on fractal geometry. The aim of this work is to specify and develop a geometric modeler, based on the formalism of iterated function systems with the following objectives: access to a new universe of original, various, aesthetic shapes, modeling of conventional shapes (smooth surfaces, solids) and unconventional shapes (rough surfaces, porous solids) by defining and controlling the relief (surface state) and lacunarity (size and distribution of holes).

Rhaleb Zayer has continued the investigations on the ANR Physigrafix which aim is to bridge the gap between acquisition and modeling in the context of deformable objects.
