      Baumberg, A.; Lyons, A.; Taylor, R. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      This paper describes the novel features of a commercial software-only solution to 3D scanning - the 3D Software Object Modeller (3D S.O.M.). Our work is motivated by the desire to produce a low-cost, portable 3D scanning ...

    • Adaptive Grid Optical Tomography 

      Ihrke, Ivo; Magnor, Marcus (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Image-based modeling of semi-transparent, dynamic phenomena is a challenging task. We present an optical tomography method that uses an adaptive grid for the reconstruction of a three-dimensional density function from its ...

    • Advances in Shadow Removing for Motion Detection Algorithms 

      Spagnolo, P.; D'Orazio, T.; Leo, M.; Distante, A. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Detecting moving objects is very important in many application contexts such as people detection and recognition, visual surveillance, automatic generation of video effects, and so on. Motion detection algorithms are very ...

    • Applications of Clifford Algebra in Mixed Reality Environment 

      Ho, E.Y.T. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      The 'beauty' of Clifford's Geometric Algebras is its ability to incorporate other algebras and it is the 'mother' algebra for all algebras. This paper introduces the advantage of using this algebra by combining and augmenting ...

    • Automatic Non-Photorealistic Rendering through Soft-Shading Removal: A Colour-Vision Approach 

      Olmos, A.; Kingdom, F. A. A. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      This paper presents a non-photorealistic rendering algorithm that produces "stylised-style" images by removing the soft shading from the image and by giving objects extra definition through black outlines. The method of ...

    • Bitvectors for Robust Hierarchical Template Matching 

      Tweed, David (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Many target detection problems involve objects where the primary variability in appearance is due to changes amongst characteristic configurations (as opposed to the systematic variability of object rotation or illumination ...

    • Cartoon-Style Rendering of Motion from Video 

      Collomosse, J.P.; Hall, P.M. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      The contribution of this paper is a novel non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) system capable of rendering motion within a video sequence in artistic styles. A variety of cartoon-style motion cues may be inserted into a video ...

    • Coding 3D Facial Models forMugshot Applications 

      Hyde, J.; Robinson, J. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Three-dimensional information about a human face may have some correlation with the colour information present in its flat texture image. In order to maximise the available information for human identification of faces, a ...

    • Collaborative Vision and Interactive Mosaicing 

      Robinson, J.A. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      I propose criteria for collaborative vision applications where a camera user/operator and a computer work together to analyse a scene. An example of how these may be fulfilled is provided in IMP - an interactive mosaicing ...

    • Color Reduction by Using a new Self-Growing and Self-Organized Neural Network 

      Atsalakis, A.; Papamarkos, N. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      A new method for the reduction of the number of colors in a digital image is proposed. The new method is based on the developed of a new neural network classifier that combines the advantages of the Growing Neural Gas (GNG) ...

    • Correspondenceless Stereo for 3-D Iris Location 

      Anderson, Tom; Trucco, Emanuele; Razeto, Marco (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      We present a correspondenceless stereo system locating the circular contour of an iris (limbus) in space, and therefore its 3-D plane. We avoid correspondence search completely by intersecting a bundle of conjugate epipolar ...

    • Depth Enhanced Panoramas 

      Bahmutov, Gleb; Popescu, Voicu; Mudure, Mihai; Sacks, Elisha (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Depth enhanced panoramas are a practical solution to the difficult problem of inside-looking-out modeling. Depth enhanced panoramas extend color panoramas to support viewpoint translation, while retaining their speed, ...
