Expression Synthesis and Transfer in Parameter Spaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)In this paper, we introduce a novel framework that allows users to synthesize the expression of a 3D character by providing a intuitive set of parametric controls. Assuming that human face movements are formed by a set of ... -
ProcDef: Local-to-global Deformation for Skeleton-free Character Animation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Animations of characters with flexible bodies such as jellyfish, snails, and, hearts are difficult to design using traditional skeleton-based approaches. A standard approach is keyframing, but adjusting the shape of the ... -
Procedural Generation of Rock Piles using Aperiodic Tiling
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)In this paper, we present a tiling method for generating piles of rocks without any computationally demanding physically-based simulation. Previous techniques rely on a periodic tiling of rocks and generate unrealistic ... -
Affective Modelling: Profiling Geometrical Models with Human Emotional Responses
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)In this paper, a novel concept, Affective Modelling, is introduced to encapsulate the idea of creating 3D models based on the emotional responses that they may invoke. Research on perceptually-related issues in Computer ... -
HPCCD: Hybrid Parallel Continuous Collision Detection using CPUs and GPUs
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)We present a novel, hybrid parallel continuous collision detection (HPCCD) method that exploits the availability of multi-core CPU and GPU architectures. HPCCD is based on a bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) and selectively ... -
Approximate on-Surface Distance Computation using Quasi-Developable Charts
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)There is a vast number of applications that require distance field computation over triangular meshes. State-of-the-art algorithms have quadratic or sub-quadratic worst-case complexity, making them impractical for interactive ... -
Linkless Octree Using Multi-Level Perfect Hashing
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)The standard C/C++ implementation of a spatial partitioning data structure, such as octree and quadtree, is often inefficient in terms of storage requirements particularly when the memory overhead for maintaining parent-to-child ... -
An Intuitive Interface for Interactive High Quality Image-Based Modeling
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)We present the design of an interactive image-based modeling tool that enables a user to quickly generate detailed 3D models with texture from a set of calibrated input images. Our main contribution is an intuitive user ... -
Image-to-Geometry Registration: a Mutual Information Method exploiting Illumination-related Geometric Properties
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)This work concerns a novel study in the field of image-to-geometry registration. Our approach takes inspiration from medical imaging, in particular from multi-modal image registration. Most of the algorithms developed in ... -
Live Video Montage with a Rotating Camera
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)High-quality video editing usually requires accurate layer separation in order to resolve occlusions. However, most of the existing bilayer segmentation algorithms require either considerable user intervention or a simple ... -
SecondSkin: An interactive method for appearance transfer
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)SecondSkin estimates an appearance model for an object visible in a video sequence, without the need for complex interaction or any calibration apparatus. This model can then be transferred to other objects, allowing a ... -
