Next generation technologies for modeling the full complexity of living and designed structures

Objective

The goal of the NGTMod project is to define the next generation technologies for modeling the full complexity of living and designed structures. The need to describe and handle complex geometrical objects is present in many different domains of application such as medical imaging, geology, material analysis, etc. In all these domains, we seek to describe very complex objects, in order to obtain a description of objects with a very high level of precision, and/or to describe very large objects. In both cases, the goal is to obtain a very precise representation, making it possible to define several high level operations to create and modify the objects. Many works have proposed very advanced solutions for specific cases. Most of them deal with 2D and 3D regular subdivisions which are in no way generic, and the few existing generic solutions do not allow us to describe very complex objects. Our goal in this project is to propose a general purpose representation for geometric structures of arbitrary topology, making it possible to describe and handle very complex objects. To achieve this goal, we will take advantage of Jarek Rossignac's wide experience of computer graphics and compact data structures during the outgoing phase in Georgia Tech University, while providing our major knowledge of cellular data structures, generic operations and their implementation in software libraries. We will transfer the acquired skills and knowledge during the return phase by working with Florent Dupont of Lyon 1 University who is an expert on image and mesh processing and analysis and this phase will benefit from the new generic data structure and high level operations.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

MSCA-IF-GF - Global Fellowships

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.

Total cost

The total costs incurred by this organisation to participate in the project, including direct and indirect costs. This amount is a subset of the overall project budget.
