• Level of Detail for Real-Time Volumetric Terrain Rendering 

  Scholz, Manuel; Bender, Jan; Dachsbacher, Carsten (The Eurographics Association, 2013)

  Terrain rendering is an important component of many GIS applications and simulators. Most methods rely on heightmap-based terrain which is simple to acquire and handle, but has limited capabilities for modeling features ...

• Optimising Aperture Shapes for Depth Estimation 

  Sellent, Anita; Favaro, Paolo (The Eurographics Association, 2013)

  The finite depth of field of a real camera can be used to estimate the depth structure of a scene. While the distance of an object from the plane in focus determines the defocus blur size, the shape of the aperture determines ...

• Illustrative Rendering of Particle Systems 

  Chandler, Jennifer; Obermaier, Harald; Joy, Kenneth I. (The Eurographics Association, 2013)

  Sets of particles are a frequently used tool for the exploration of time-varying flow fields due to their ease of use and conceptual simplicity. Understanding temporal changes in such particle systems can be difficult with ...

• Image Based Rendering from Perspective and Orthographic Images for Autostereoscopic Multi-View Displays 

  Jung, Daniel; Koch, Reinhard (The Eurographics Association, 2013)

  Current autostereoscopic (AS) multi-view displays for video that are targeted at the market allow typically up to 60 frames per second and offer between 20 and 60 different views per pixel. Future full parallax AS displays ...

• Non-Sampled Anti-Aliasing 

  Auzinger, Thomas; Musialski, Przemyslaw; Preiner, Reinhold; Wimmer, Michael (The Eurographics Association, 2013)

• Geometric Point Light Source Calibration 

  Ackermann, Jens; Fuhrmann, Simon; Goesele, Michael (The Eurographics Association, 2013)

  We present a light position calibration technique based on a general arrangement of at least two reflective spheres in a single image. Contrary to other techniques we do not directly intersect rays for triangulation but ...

• Epipolar Plane Image Refocusing for Improved Depth Estimation and Occlusion Handling 

  Diebold, Maximilian; Goldluecke, Bastian (The Eurographics Association, 2013)

  In contrast to traditional imaging, the higher dimensionality of a light field offers directional information about the captured intensity. This information can be leveraged to estimate the disparity of 3D points in the ...
