Abstract
We will present various techniques for computing external forces and for applying them to deformable models. In computer vision and medical imaging applications, such forces originate from datapoints or image potentials and are assigned to points on the deformable model [275]. In computer graphics applications, we assign forces to points on the deformable model due to collisions of the deformable model with other rigid or deformable models, or due to a force field (e.g., gravity) [277]. Finally, we describe our force-based technique for shape and nonrigid motion estimation.
