In this paper, we present a flexible and efficient approach for the integration of order-independent transparency into a deferred shading pipeline. The intermediate buffers for storing fragments to be shaded are extended ...

This paper investigates contrast enhancement as an approach to tone reduction, aiming to convert a photograph to black and white. Using a filter-based approach to strengthen contrast, we avoid making a hard decision about ...

We present a novel approach for making stereoscopic images by variational view synthesis on the multi-perspective light field. With the intended disparities as constraints, we specialize the generative variational model ...

A person's handwriting appears differently within a typical range of variations, and the shapes of handwriting characters also show complex interaction with their nearby neighbors. This makes automatic synthesis of handwriting ...

Maintaining consistent styles across glyphs is an arduous task in typeface design. In this work we introduce Flexy- Font, a flexible tool for synthesizing a complete typeface that has a consistent style with a given small ...

The study of face alignment has been an area of intense research in computer vision, with its achievements widely used in computer graphics applications. The performance of various face alignment methods is often imagedependent ...

We describe a painting machine and associated algorithms. Our modified industrial robot works with visual feedback and applies acrylic paint from a repository to a canvas until the created painting resembles a given input ...

The goal of example-based texture synthesis methods is to generate arbitrarily large textures from limited exemplars in order to fit the exact dimensions and resolution required for a specific modeling task. The challenge ...

We introduce a novel method for enabling stereoscopic viewing of a scene from a single pre-segmented image. Rather than attempting full 3D reconstruction or accurate depth map recovery, we hallucinate a rough approximation ...

We describe an algorithm for generating panoramic video from unstructured camera arrays. Artifact-free panorama stitching is impeded by parallax between input views. Common strategies such as multi-level blending or minimum ...
