    • Proxy-Guided Texture Synthesis for Rendering Natural Scenes 

      Bonneel, Nicolas; Panne, Michiel van de; Lefebvre, Sylvain; Drettakis, George (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Landscapes and other natural scenes are easy to photograph but difficult to model and render. We present a proxy-guided pipeline which allows for simple 3D proxy geometry to be rendered with the rich visual detail found ...

    • Cost-effective Feature Enhancement for Volume Datasets 

      Díaz, Jose; Marco, Jordi; Vázquez, Pere-Pau (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Volume models often show high complexity. Local details and overall shape may sometimes be difficult to perceive. Unsharp masking techniques improve the perception of those small features by increasing the local contrast. ...

    • Instant Texture Synthesis by Numbers 

      Busto, Pau Panareda; Eisenacher, Christian; Lefebvre, Sylvain; Stamminger, Marc (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Appearance Space Texture Synthesis (ASTS) provides fast texture synthesis by example. Unfortunately, speed is only achieved at the cost of a long pre-processing step. This is tedious for artists and limits the input ...

    • Application of Tensor Approximation to Multiscale Volume Feature Representations 

      Suter, Susanne K.; Zollikofer, Christoph P. E.; Pajarola, Renato (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Advanced 3D microstructural analysis in natural sciences and engineering depends ever more on modern data acquisition and imaging technologies such as micro-computed or synchrotron tomography and interactive visualization. ...

    • Ultrasound Painting of Liver Vascular Tree 

      Birkeland, Asmund; Viola, Ivan (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      In treatment planning and surgical interventions, physicians and surgeons need information about the spatial extent of specific features and the surrounding structures. Previous techniques for extracting features, based ...

    • Visual Analysis of Multivariate Movement Data using Interactive Difference Views 

      Lampe, Ove Daae; Kehrer, Johannes; Hauser, Helwig (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Movement data consisting of a large number of spatio-temporal agent trajectories is challenging to visualize, especially when all trajectories are attributed with multiple variates. In this paper, we demonstrate the visual ...

    • Direct Resampling for Isotropic Surface Remeshing 

      Fuhrmann, Simon; Ackermann, Jens; Kalbe, Thomas; Goesele, Michael (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      We present a feature-sensitive remeshing algorithm for relaxation-based methods. The first stage of the algorithm creates a new mesh from scratch by resampling the reference mesh with an exact vertex budget with either ...

    • CALTag: High Precision Fiducial Markers for Camera Calibration 

      Atcheson, Bradley; Heide, Felix; Heidrich, Wolfgang (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      We present a self-identifying marker pattern for camera calibration, together with the associated detection algorithm. The pattern is designed to support high-precision, fully-automatic localization of calibration points, ...

    • 3D Curve-Skeleton Extraction Algorithm Using a Pseudo-Normal Vector Field 

      Pantuwong, Natapon; Sugimoto, Masanori (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      A curve skeleton is a line representation of a 3D object. It is useful in many applications, such as animation, shape matching or scientific analysis. The method described in this paper extracts a curve skeleton from the ...

    • Gerbil - A Novel Software Framework for Visualization and Analysis in the Multispectral Domain 

      Jordan, Johannes; Angelopoulou, Elli (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Multispectral imaging has been gaining popularity and has been gradually applied to many fields besides remote sensing. Multispectral data provides unique information about material classification and reflectance analysis ...

    • The Minimal Bounding Volume Hierarchy 

      Bauszat, Pablo; Eisemann, Martin; Magnor, Marcus (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Bounding volume hierarchies (BVH) are a commonly used method for speeding up ray tracing. Even though the memory footprint of a BVH is relatively low compared to other acceleration data structures, they still can consume ...

    • Interactive Multi-View Facade Image Editing 

      Musialski, Przemyslaw; Luksch, Christian; Schwärzler, Michael; Buchetics, Matthias; Maierhofer, Stefan; Purgathofer, Werner (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      We propose a system for generating high-quality approximated façade ortho-textures based on a set of perspective source photographs taken by a consumer hand-held camera. Our approach is to sample a combined orthographic ...

    • Real-time Full-body Visual Traits Recognition from Image Sequences 

      Jung, Christoph; Tausch, Reimar; Wojek, Christian (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      The automatic recognition of human visual traits from images is a challenging computer vision task. Visual traits describe for example gender and age, or other properties of a person that can be derived from visual appearance. ...

    • Dynamic Focus + Context for Volume Rendering 

      Sikachev, Peter; Rautek, Peter; Bruckner, Stefan; Gröller, M. Eduard (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Interactive visualization is widely used in many applications for efficient representation of complex data. Many techniques make use of the focus+context approach in a static manner. These techniques do not fully make use ...

    • QEM-Filtering: A New Technique for Feature-Sensitive Terrain Mesh Simplification 

      Löffler, Falko; Schumann, Heidrun (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Terrain simplification generates multi-resolution models, from which - traditionally - irregular or semi-regular triangulations are extracted to render a terrain at a suitable level of detail. Recent terrain simplification ...

    • Locally Planar and Affine Deformable Surface Reconstruction from Video 

      Collins, Toby; Bartoli, Adrien (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      We present new solutions to tackle the problem of reconstructing a deforming surface viewed in monocular videos without a template, by exploiting the fact that many deforming surfaces are on the local scale approximately ...

    • Image-Error-Based Level of Detail for Landscape Visualization 

      Clasen, Malte; Prohaska, Steffen (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      We present a quasi-continuous level of detail method that is based on an image error metric to minimize the visual error. The method is designed for objects of high geometric complexity such as trees. By successive ...

    • An Interactive, Multi-Modal Approach to Analysing High-Resolution Image Mass Spectrometry Data 

      Smit, Ferdi A.; Liere, Robert van; Fornai, Lara; Heeren, Ron (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
