• Meshless Hierarchical Radiosity on the GPU 

  Zollhöfer, Michael; Stamminger, Marc (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  Meshless radiosity is a radiosity method that is based on a point-based hierarchical discretization of the scene. This better decouples the runtime complexity from the geometric complexity of the scene and allows for an ...

• Measuring BRDFs of Immersed Materials 

  Berger, Kai; Reshetouski, Ilya; Magnor, Marcus; Ihrke, Ivo (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  We investigate the effect of immersing real-world materials into media of different refractive indices. We show, that only some materials follow the Fresnel-governed behaviour. In reality, many materials exhibit unexpected ...

• Markerless Motion Capture using multiple Color-Depth Sensors 

  Berger, Kai; Ruhl, Kai; Schroeder, Yannic; Bruemmer, Christian; Scholz, Alexander; Magnor, Marcus (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  With the advent of the Microsoft Kinect, renewed focus has been put on monocular depth-based motion capturing. However, this approach is limited in that an actor has to move facing the camera. Due to the active light nature ...

• Implicit Filtering for Image and Shape Processing 

  Belyaev, Alexander; Yamauchi, Hitoshi (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  The main purpose of this paper consists of demonstrating advantages of using implicit filtering schemes (noncausal IIR filters, in the signal processing language) for some basic image processing and geometric modeling ...

• Landmark-constrained 3-D Histological Imaging: A Morphology-preserving Approach 

  Gaffling, Simone; Daum, Volker; Hornegger, Joachim (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  The inspection of histological image sequences to gain knowledge about the original three-dimensional (3-D) morphological structure is a standard method in medical research. Its main advantage is that light microscopes ...

• Instant Level-of-Detail 

  Grund, Nico; Derzapf, Evgenij; Guthe, Michael (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  Highly detailed models are commonly used in computer games and other interactive rendering applications. In this context, static levels-of-detail are frequently used to achieve real-time frame rates. While this is a simple ...

• Interactive Exploration of Polymer-Solvent Interactions 

  Thomaß, Bertram; Walter, Jonathan; Krone, Michael; Hasse, Hans; Ertl, Thomas (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  The interaction of three-dimensional linked hydrophilic polymers with surrounding solvents in time-dependent data sets is of great interest for domain experts and current research in molecular dynamics. These polymers are ...

• Improving Stability and Compactness in Street Layout Visualizations 

  Kratt, Julian; Strobelt, Hendrik; Deussen, Oliver (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  We present and evaluate improvements for Street Layout, a technique that can be used for visualizing evolving hierarchical data such as file structures or software systems. Street Layouts represent data as street networks, ...

• Assessment of Time-of-Flight Cameras for Short Camera-Object Distances 

  Stürmer, Michael; Becker, Guido; Hornegger, Joachim (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  In this paper we have compared Time-of-Flight cameras of different vendors at object-camera distances of 500 mm, 1500 mm and 2500 mm. The aim was to find the highest possible precision at the distance of 500 mm, to estimate ...

• Direct Visualization of Particle-Partition of Unity Data 

  Üffinger, Markus; Schweitzer, Marc Alexander; Sadlo, Filip; Ertl, Thomas (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  Direct visualization of higher-order data provides manifold advantages over the traditional approach, which is based on resampling and subsequent visualization by interpolation-based techniques. Most important, it avoids ...

• Effective Back-Patch Culling for Hardware Tessellation 

  Loop, Charles; Nießner, Matthias; Eisenacher, Christian (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  When rendering objects with hardware tessellation, back-facing patches should be culled as early as possible to avoid unnecessary surface evaluations, and setup costs for the tessellator and rasterizer. For dynamic objects ...

• Data-Driven Visualization of Functional Brain Regions from Resting State fMRI Data 

  Crippa, Alessandro; Roerdink, Jos B.T.M. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
