Articulated objects (e.g., doors and drawers) exist everywhere in our life. Different from rigid objects, articulated objects have higher degrees of freedom and are rich in geometries, semantics, and part functions. Modeling different kinds…
Generating physically buildable brick structures from 3D shapes requires more than geometric reconstruction: the output must also satisfy discrete part constraints and structural stability. Existing brick generation methods either rely on…
Additive manufacturing builds physical objects by accumulating layers upon layers of solidified material. This process is typically done with horizontal planar layers. However, fused filament printers have the capability to extrude material…
Patterns, which are collections of elements arranged in regular or near-regular arrangements, are an important graphic art form and widely used due to their elegant simplicity and aesthetic appeal. When a pattern is encoded as a flat image…
Open-vocabulary semantic segmentation is a challenging task that requires segmenting novel object categories at inference time. Recent studies have explored vision-language pre-training to handle this task, but suffer from unrealistic…
