Abstract

We propose a method for constructing high-quality, closed-surface meshes from confined 3D point clouds via a physically-based simulation of flexible foils under spatial constraints. The approach integrates dynamic elasticity, pressure-driven deformation, and adaptive snapping to fixed vertices, providing a robust framework for realistic and physically accurate mesh creation. Applications in computer graphics and computational geometry are discussed.

MedVA: An End-to-End Neuro-Symbolic Agentic System for Medical Volume Visualization

Medical volume visualization requires selecting regions of interest (ROIs) and carefully controlling their relative visual emphasis according to a given clinical intent. Implementing these decisions in conventional workflows demands substantial clinical and visualization expertise and often involves trial-and-error optimization. Recent agentic systems have introduced natural-language interaction and autonomous visualization operations but largely rely on MLLM-based inference throughout the workflow. Although MLLMs encode broad medical knowledge and provide strong reasoning capabilities, such inference may be suboptimal for medical volume visualization, potentially leading to clinically incomplete interpretations of user requests and unreliable ROI identification and visualization optimization. In this work, we present MedVA, an end-to-end neuro-symbolic agentic system for medical volume visualization that addresses these limitations through three complementary agents. The neuro-symbolic intent formulation agent refines MLLM-based interpretations of natural-language requests through symbolic reasoning over established clinical knowledge, which provides more complete, clinically grounded ROI specifications than MLLM-only reasoning. The multi-model ROI identification agent directly identifies semantically specified ROIs in the original volume by leveraging complementary large-scale pretrained medical segmentation models. The objective-driven visualization optimization agent explicitly evaluates ROI visibility and occlusion in the original volume using a volume-based visibility objective. Extensive agent-level and system-level evaluations across diverse medical datasets and interaction scenarios support the effectiveness of the individual agents. A formative user study further indicates high usability and practical value among users with different levels of expertise.

ESG: Generating Physically Consistent Dynamic 3D Scenes from Text Descriptions

Recent progress in image and 3D scene generation has enabled increasingly realistic static environments, yet most methods remain confined to such static configurations. Generating dynamic scenes from natural language is fundamentally challenging: it requires joint reasoning over scene structure, temporal evolution, and physical feasibility, while ensuring reliable execution in modern physics engines. We present a unified framework for generating physically consistent dynamic 3D scenes from text, with outputs directly executable in Unreal Engine. Central to our approach is the \emph{Evolutive Scene Graph} (ESG), which specifies entities with physical attributes, spatial relations, and event-driven timelines in a machine-checkable form. Given a prompt, a large language model constructs and validates a complete ESG; spatial layouts are grounded via energy-minimized gradient optimization; timeline-constrained physical parameters are then optimized through differentiable simulation to satisfy user-specified events; and the resulting scene is compiled into an engine-executable class. Experiments on 10 scenes across three complexity levels show that our method achieves $16.4/18$ mean event completion, outperforming Scene Language, the strongest engine-executable baseline (SimWorld), and our ablation without physical optimization by a clear margin in event completion and parameter accuracy.

RealSimLoop: Online Real-to-Sim Adaptation via Differentiable Reduced-Order Simulation with Vision Feedback

Real-world observations of deformable objects are often sparse or surface-level, while downstream tasks require hidden physical quantities such as internal deformation, stress fields, and interaction forces. Physics-based simulation can recover these quantities, but online real-to-sim adaptation remains challenging due to costly full-space optimization, limited feedback, and time-varying material properties. To address these challenges, we propose RealSimLoop, a differentiable framework for online real-to-sim adaptation using vision data as physical feedback. Our approach achieves quasi-real-time performance by executing differentiable simulation within a reduced-order neural subspace, drastically accelerating the optimization loop. We couple this efficient dynamics model with differentiable rendering, enabling direct gradient backpropagation that leverages high-fidelity pixel data to refine physical parameters such as material stiffness. Furthermore, by employing a sliding-window objective function, RealSimLoop enables robust online adaptation, allowing the system to track time-varying material properties and effectively bridge the real-to-sim gap arising from model reduction or unmodeled dynamics. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms conventional offline methods, and we validate the framework's versatility in downstream applications, including external force prediction and 3D stress field reconstruction with novel view synthesis.
