Silhouette Extraction in Hough Space
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2006)Object-space silhouette extraction is an important problem in fields ranging from non-photorealistic computer graphics to medical robotics. We present an efficient silhouette extractor for triangle meshes under perspective ... -
A Primer on Topological Persistence
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2006)The idea of topological persistence is to look at homological features that persist along a nested sequence of topo-logical spaces. As a typical example, we may take the sequence of sublevel sets of a function. The ... -
Tuning Subdivision by Minimising Gaussian Curvature Variation Near Extraordinary Vertices
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2006)We present a method for tuning primal stationary subdivision schemes to give the best possible behaviour near extraordinary vertices with respect to curvature variation.Current schemes lead to a limit surface around ... -
Towards a Unified Dynamical Solver for Computer Graphics
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2006)In this talk I will present some research I have done over the past few years in developing a unified dynamical solver for computer graphics. Currently many solvers are specialized for a given phenomenon such as fluid flow, ... -
Data Preparation for Real-time High Quality Rendering of Complex Models
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2006)The capability of current 3D acquisition systems to digitize the geometry reflection behaviour of objects as well as the sophisticated application of CAD techniques lead to rapidly growing digital models which pose new ... -

A Hierarchical Topology-Based Model for Handling Complex Indoor Scenes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006)This paper presents a topology-based representation dedicated to complex indoor scenes. It accounts for memory management and performances during modelling, visualization and lighting simulation. We propose to enlarge a ... -
Transformation and Normal Vector Calculation of Parametrically Defined Surfaces Based on Dual Vectors and Screw Theory: Application to Phong s Shading Model
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006)This paper presents a new approach for the transformation and normal vector calculation algorithms of parametrically defined surfaces via dual vectors and line transformations. The surface is defined via dual points, the ... -
Memory-Conserving Bounding Volume Hierarchies with Coherent Raytracing
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006) -
Anti-aliasing with Stratified B-spline Filters of Arbitrary Degree
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006)A simple and elegant method is presented to perform anti-aliasing in raytraced images. The method uses stratified sampling to reduce the occurrence of artefacts in an image and features a B-spline filter to compute the ... -

GEncode: Geometry-driven compression for General Meshes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006)Performances of actual mesh compression algorithms vary significantly depending on the type of model it encodes. These methods rely on prior assumptions on the mesh to be efficient, such as regular connectivity, simple ... -
A Randomized Approach for Patch-based Texture Synthesis using Wavelets
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006)We present a wavelet-based approach for selecting patches in patch-based texture synthesis. We randomly select the first block that satisfies a minimum error criterion, computed from the wavelet coefficients (using 1D or ... -
A Weighted Error Metric and Optimization Method for Antialiasing Patterns
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)Displaying a synthetic image on a computer display requires determining the colors of individual pixels. To avoid aliasing, multiple samples of the image can be taken per pixel, after which the color of a pixel may be ... -
A PBL Experience in the Teaching of Computer Graphics
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an educational strategy to improve student s learning capability that, in recent years, has had a progressive acceptance in undergraduate studies. This methodology is based on solving a ... -
Virtual Reality Course-A Natural Enrichment of Computer Graphics Classes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)This paper shows how the Virtual Reality (VR) course can naturally extend and practice a wide range of Computer Graphics (CG) principles and programming techniques. Thanks to real-time processing requirements, attention ... -
Verification of Physically Based Rendering Algorithms
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006)Within computer graphics, the field of predictive rendering is concerned with those methods of image synthesis that yield results that do not only look real, but are also radiometrically correct renditions of nature, i.e. ... -
