Abstract: Human interactive texture generation and search systems and methods are described. A deep convolutional generative adversarial network is used for mapping information in a latent space into texture models. An interactive evolutionary computation algorithm for searching a texture through an evolving latent space driven by human preference is also described. Advantages of a generative model and an evolutionary computation are combined to realize a controllable and bounded texture tuning process under the guidance of human preferences. Additionally, a fully haptic user interface is described, which can be used to evaluate the systems and methods in terms of their efficiency and accuracy of searching and generating new virtual textures that are closely representative of given real textures.

Abstract: Various disclosed embodiments are directed to estimating that a first vertex of a patch will change from a first position to a second position (the second position being at least partially indicative of secondary motion) based at least in part on one or more features of: primary motion data, one or more material properties, and constraint data associated with the particular patch. Such estimation can be made for some or all of the patches of an entire volumetric mesh in order to accurately predict the overall secondary motion of an object. This, among other functionality described herein resolves the inaccuracies, computer resource consumption, and the user experience of existing technologies.
