    • Generalized As-Similar-As-Possible Warping with Applications in Digital Photography 

      Chen, Renjie; Gotsman, Craig (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      Discrete conformal mappings of planar triangle meshes, also known as the As-Similar-As-Possible (ASAP) mapping, involve the minimization of a quadratic energy function, thus are very easy to generate and are popular in ...

    • Generalized Diffusion Curves: An Improved Vector Representation for Smooth-Shaded Images 

      Jeschke, Stefan (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      This paper generalizes the well-known Diffusion Curves Images (DCI), which are composed of a set of Bezier curves with colors specified on either side. These colors are diffused as Laplace functions over the image domain, ...

    • Improved Surface Quality in 3D Printing by Optimizing the Printing Direction 

      Wang, Weiming; Zanni, Cédric; Kobbelt, Leif (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      We present a pipeline of algorithms that decomposes a given polygon model into parts such that each part can be 3D printed with high (outer) surface quality. For this we exploit the fact that most 3D printing technologies ...

    • Buoyancy Optimization for Computational Fabrication 

      Wang, Lingfeng; Whiting, Emily (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      This paper introduces a design and fabrication pipeline for creating floating forms. Our method optimizes for buoyant equilibrium and stability of complex 3D shapes, applying a voxel-carving technique to control the mass ...

    • SMARTCANVAS: Context-inferred Interpretation of Sketches for Preparatory Design Studies 

      Zheng, Youyi; Liu, Han; Dorsey, Julie; Mitra, Niloy J. (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      In early or preparatory design stages, an architect or designer sketches out rough ideas, not only about the object or structure being considered, but its relation to its spatial context. This is an iterative process, where ...

    • Structure-adaptive Shape Editing for Man-made Objects 

      Fu, Qiang; Chen, Xiaowu; Su, Xiaoyu; Li, Jia; Fu, Hongbo (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      One of the challenging problems for shape editing is to adapt shapes with diversified structures for various editing needs. In this paper we introduce a shape editing approach that automatically adapts the structure of a ...

    • Building Construction Sets by Tiling Grammar Simplification 

      Kalojanov, Javor; Wand, Michael; Slusallek, Philipp (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      This paper poses the problem of fabricating physical construction sets from example geometry: A construction set provides a small number of different types of building blocks from which the example model as well as many ...

    • Fast and Robust Inversion-Free Shape Manipulation 

      Liu, Tiantian; Gao, Ming; Zhu, Lifeng; Sifakis, Eftychios; Kavan, Ladislav (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      We present a shape manipulation technique capable of producing deformations of 2D and 3D meshes, guaranteeing that no elements will be inverted. We achieve this by augmenting the quadratic ex-rotated elastic energy with ...

    • EUROGRAPHICS 2016: CGF 35-2 Frontmatter

    • Information Theory in Visualization 

      Chen, Min; Sbert, Mateu; Shen, Han-Wei; Viola, Ivan; Bardera, Anton; Feixas, Miquel (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      In this half-day tutorial, we review a variety of applications of information theory in visualization. The holistic nature of information-theoretic reasoning has enabled many such applications, ranging from light placement ...

    • Sketch-based Modeling 

      Cordier, Frederic; Singh, Karan; Etem, Even; Cani, Marie-Paule; Gingold, Yotam (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Sketching is one of the most natural ways to exchange ideas. It has been used by human beings since prehistory. Research has shown that human beings have an inherent ability to understand sketches. This is why sketch-based ...

    • The HDR-video Pipeline 

      Unger, Jonas; Banterle, Francesco; Eilertsen, Gabriel; Mantiuk, Rafał K. (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
