Inbetweening auto-animation via Fokker-Planck dynamics and thresholding

Figure 1.  The semilog plot of temporal evolution of relative root mean square errors for the RGB facial aging transformation with parameters $ \Delta t = 0.01, T = 100 $ and $ \Delta x = \Delta y = 10^{-4} $. The red, green and blue lines represent the relative errors of the corresponding color modes

Figure 2.  Facial aging transformation from initial to equilibrium with parameters $ \Delta t = 0.01, T = 100 $ and $ \Delta x = \Delta y = 10^{-4} $. The updated results after time step $ 40,100 $, $ 200 $, 400, $ 1000, 2000 $, $ 4000 $, $ 10000 $ are shown and compared to the initial and equilibrium images

Figure 3.  Chest CT images of the critically severe COVID-19 patient [6]. The left column of figures illustrates the evading of pneumonia from January 23th to February 2nd and the right column illustrates the fading away of pneumonia from February 2nd to February 15th after treatment. Red circles indicate the significant COVID-19 pneumonia invading areas and blue circles indicate the significant pneumonia fading away areas

Figure 4.  The semilog plot of temporal evolution of the relative root mean square errors for COVID-19 pneumonia invading and fading away on CT scan images with the parameters $ \Delta t = 0.01, T = 100 $ and $ \Delta x = \Delta y = 10^{-4} $. (up) The error evolution for the pneumonia invading process simulation. (down) The error evolution for the pneumonia fading away process simulation

Figure 5.  The simulated COVID-19 pneumonia invading and fading away process on CT scan images with the parameters $ \Delta t = 0.01, T = 100 $ and $ \Delta x = \Delta y = 10^{-4} $. Results after the step 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 are illustrated and compared to the initial and equilibrium scan images. The white part inside the lungs shown on images indicates the evidence of pneumonia. (up) The pneumonia invades into the patient's lungs caused by COVID-19. (down) The pneumonia fades away from the lungs after a stem cell treatment is applied to the patient. Red circles indicate the significant COVID-19 pneumonia invading areas and blue circles indicate the significant pneumonia fading away areas

Figure 6.  The unit sphere and the Voronoi cells on it. There are totally 3000 cells on the sphere. The black dots indicate locations of the point clouds on the sphere. The polygons with black edges are the Voronoi polygons generated with CVT algorithm

Figure 7.  The semilog plot of temporal evolution of relative root mean square errors for the continental evolution process with thresholding for shape dynamics with $ \Delta t = 0.05 $ and the total number of the thresholding adjustments is $ N_t = 50 $. The linear iterations before the $ (k+1) $th thresholding adjustment is $ 2k $. The red line indicates the error of simulations with only the linear Fokker-Planck algorithm while the blue line is the error of the linear algorithm combined with the thresholding scheme. The black dotted lines indicate the time steps when the thresholding adjustments are applied

Figure 8.  The evolutions of continental movements on the unit sphere with the parameter $ \Delta t = 0.05 $ and the total number of the thresholding adjustments is $ N_t = 50 $. The continental evolution on the sphere after the 2th, 5th, 10th, 30th thresholding adjustment are illustrated and compared with the initial and equilibrium states. The black dots and polygons in each subplot illustrate the point clouds and the Voronoi cells, respectively. The orange and blue patch indicate the land and ocean, respectively. 'TH' is short for 'thresholding step'. The formation of the Antarctic is revealed at the bottom (southern part) of the globe (black arrow in TH 5). Note that the globes are shown in the same view angle so the Antarctic continental is out of view in the last two subplots
