Virtual cutting of deformable bodies has been an important and active research topic in physically based modelling and simulation for more than a decade. A particular challenge in virtual cutting is the robust and efficient ...

Combining procedural generation and user control is a fundamental challenge for the interactive design of natural scenery. This is particularly true for modelling complex waterfall scenes where, in addition to taking charge ...

Image completion techniques aim to complete selected regions of an image in a natural looking manner with little or no user interaction. Video Completion, the space–time equivalent of the image completion problem, inherits ...

A person's emotions and state of mind are apparent in their face and eyes. As a Latin proverb states: ‘The face is the portrait of the mind; the eyes, its informers’. This presents a significant challenge for Computer ...

Although geometry‐aware filtering and upsampling have often been used for interactive or real‐time rendering, they are unsuitable for glossy surfaces because shading results strongly depend on the bidirectional reflectance ...

We present an adaptive slicing scheme for reducing the manufacturing time for 3D printing systems. Based on a new saliency‐based metric, our method optimizes the thicknesses of slicing layers to save printing time and ...

In vector graphics, gradient meshes represent an image object by one or more regularly connected grids. Every grid point has attributes as the position, colour and gradients of these quantities specified. Editing the ...

Precipitation forecast verification is essential to the quality of a forecast. The Gaussian mixture model (GMM) can be used to approximate the precipitation of several rain bands and provide a concise view of the data, ...
