Modal Locomotion: Animating Virtual Characters with Natural Vibrations
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)We present a general method to intuitively create a wide range of locomotion controllers for 3D legged characters. The key of our approach is the assumption that efficient locomotion can exploit the natural vibration modes ... -
Feature Preserving Point Set Surfaces based on Non-Linear Kernel Regression
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Moving least squares (MLS) is a very attractive tool to design effective meshless surface representations. However, as long as approximations are performed in a least square sense, the resulting definitions remain sensitive ... -
Detecting Symmetries and Curvilinear Arrangements in Vector Art
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Understanding symmetries and arrangements in existing content is the first step towards providing higher level content aware editing capabilities. Such capabilities may include edits that both preserve existing structure ... -
Deblurring by Matching
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Restoration of the photographs damaged by the camera shake is a challenging task that manifested increasing attention in the recent period. Despite of the important progress of the blind deconvolution techniques, due to ... -
A Statistical Model of Human Pose and Body Shape
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Generation and animation of realistic humans is an essential part of many projects in today s media industry. Especially, the games and special effects industry heavily depend on realistic human animation. In this work a ... -
Arches: a Framework for Modeling Complex Terrains
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)In this paper, we present a framework for representing complex terrains with such features as overhangs, arches and caves and including different materials such as sand and rocks. Our hybrid model combines a volumetric ... -
Motion Compression using Principal Geodesics Analysis
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Due to the growing need for large quantities of human animation data in the entertainment industry, it has become a necessity to compress motion capture sequences in order to ease their storage and transmission. We present ... -
Example-Based Rendering of Eye Movements
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)This paper describes a model for example-based, photo-realistic rendering of eye movements in 3D facial animation. Based on 3D scans of a face with different gaze directions, the model captures the motion of the eyeball ... -
Genuinity Signatures: Designing Signatures for Verifying 3D Object Genuinity
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)3D computer graphics models and digitally-controlled manufacturing have come together to enable the design, visualization, simulation, and automated creation of complex 3D objects. In our work, we propose and implement a ... -
Anisotropic Radiance-Cache Splatting for Efficiently Computing High-Quality Global Illumination with Lightcuts
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Computing global illumination in complex scenes is even with todays computational power a demanding task. In this work we propose a novel irradiance caching scheme that combines the advantages of two state-of-the-art ... -
A Part-aware Surface Metric for Shape Analysis
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)The notion of parts in a shape plays an important role in many geometry problems, including segmentation, correspondence, recognition, editing, and animation. As the fundamental geometric representation of 3D objects in ... -
Character Motion Synthesis by Topology Coordinates
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)In this paper, we propose a new method to efficiently synthesize character motions that involve close contacts such as wearing a T-shirt, passing the arms through the strings of a knapsack, or piggy-back carrying an injured ... -
Dominant Texture and Diffusion Distance Manifolds
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Texture synthesis techniques require nearly uniform texture samples, however identifying suitable texture samples in an image requires significant data preprocessing. To eliminate this work, we introduce a fully automatic ... -
Frontmatter

Spectral-Based Group Formation Control
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Given a pair of keyframe formations for a group consisting of multiple individuals, we present a spectral-based approach to smoothly transforming a source group formation into a target formation while respecting the clusters ... -
Compressive Dual Photography
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)The accurate measurement of the light transport characteristics of a complex scene is an important goal in computer graphics and has applications in relighting and dual photography. However, since the light transport data ... -
Continuum-based Strain Limiting
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)We present Continuum-based Strain Limiting (CSL) - a new method for limiting deformations in physically-based cloth simulations. Despite recent developments for nearly inextensible materials, the efficient simulation of ... -
Fast BVH Construction on GPUs
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)We present two novel parallel algorithms for rapidly constructing bounding volume hierarchies on manycore GPUs. The first uses a linear ordering derived from spatial Morton codes to build hierarchies extremely quickly and ... -
An Analytical Solution to Single Scattering in Homogeneous Participating Media
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Despite their numerous applications, efficiently rendering participating media remains a challenging task due to the intricacy of the radiative transport equation. As they provide a generic means of solving a wide variety ... -
Image Appearance Exploration by Model-Based Navigation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Changing the appearance of an image can be a complex and non-intuitive task. Many times the target image colors and look are only known vaguely and many trials are needed to reach the desired results. Moreover, the effect ...
