    • A Survey of Procedural Noise Functions 

      Lagae, A.; Lefebvre, S.; Cook, R.; DeRose, T.; Drettakis, G.; Ebert, D.S.; Lewis, J.P.; Perlin, K.; Zwicker, M. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Procedural noise functions are widely used in computer graphics, from off-line rendering in movie production to interactive video games. The ability to add complex and intricate details at low memory and authoring cost is ...

    • Efficient and Quality Contouring Algorithms on the GPU 

      Schmitz, L.; Scheidegger, L. F.; Osmari, D. K.; Dietrich, C. A.; Comba, J. L. D. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Interactive isosurface extraction has recently become possible through successful efforts to map algorithms such as Marching Cubes (MC) and Marching Tetrahedra (MT) to modern Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) architectures. ...

    • Virtual Video Camera: Image-Based Viewpoint Navigation Through Space and Time 

      Lipski, C.; Linz, C.; Berger, K.; Sellent, A.; Magnor, M. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      We present an image-based rendering system to viewpoint-navigate through space and time of complex real-world, dynamic scenes. Our approach accepts unsynchronized, uncalibrated multivideo footage as input. Inexpensive, ...

    • Real Time Animation of Virtual Humans: A Trade-off Between Naturalness and Control 

      Van Welbergen, H.; Van Basten, B. J. H.; Egges, A.; Ruttkay, Zs. M.; Overmars, M. H. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Virtual humans are employed in many interactive applications using 3D virtual environments, including (serious) games. The motion of such virtual humans should look realistic (or natural and allow interaction with the ...

    • Letters to the Editors 

      Peters, Ph.D, Thomas J. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

    • New EUROGRAPHICS Fellows 

      Unknown author (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

    • Computational Aesthetics 2010 in London, England, June 14-15, 2010, sponsored by Eurographics, in collaboration with ACM SIGGRAPH 

      Isenberg, Tobias; Dodgson, Neil (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)

    • Arbitrary Importance Functions for Metropolis Light Transport 

      Hoberock, Jared; Hart, John C. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      We present a generalization of the scalar importance function employed by Metropolis Light Transport (MLT) and related Markov chain rendering algorithms. Although MLT is known for its user-designable mutation rules, we ...

    • Binary Shading Using Appearance and Geometry 

      Buchholz, Bert; Boubekeur, Tamy; DeCarlo, Doug; Alexa, Marc (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      In the style of binary shading, shape and illumination are depicted using two colours, typically black and white, which form coherent lines and regions in the image. We formulate the problem of assigning colours in the ...

    • Poisson-Based Weight Reduction of Animated Meshes 

      Landreneau, Eric; Schaefer, Scott (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      While animation using barycentric coordinates or other automatic weight assignment methods has become a popular method for shape deformation, the global nature of the weights limits their use for real-time applications. ...

    • Optical Image Processing Using Light Modulation Displays 

      Wetzstein, Gordon; Heidrich, Wolfgang; Luebke, David (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      We propose to enhance the capabilities of the human visual system by performing optical image processing directly on an observed scene. Unlike previous work which additively superimposes imagery on a scene, or completely ...

    • Reducing Plenoptic Camera Artifacts 

      Georgiev, T.; Lumsdaine, A. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      The focused plenoptic camera differs from the traditional plenoptic camera in that its microlenses are focused on the photographed object rather than at infinity. The spatio-angular tradeoffs available with this approach ...

    • Resampling Strategies for Deforming MLS Surfaces 

      Gois, Joao Paulo; Buscaglia, Gustavo C. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Moving-least-squares (MLS) surfaces undergoing large deformations need periodic regeneration of the point set (point-set resampling) so as to keep the point-set density quasi-uniform. Previous work by the authors dealt ...

    • Application of Visual Analytics for Thermal State Management in Large Data Centres 

      Hao, M. C.; Sharma, R. K.; Keim, D. A.; Dayal, U.; Patel, C.; Vennelakanti, R. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Today s large data centres are the computational hubs of the next generation of IT services. With the advent of dynamic smart cooling and rack level sensing, the need for visual data exploration is growing. If administrators ...

    • Hierarchical Structure Recovery of Point-Sampled Surfaces 

      Attene, Marco; Patane, Giuseppe (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      We focus on the class of regular models defined by Varady et al. for reverse engineering purposes. Given a 3D surface represented through a dense set of points, we present a novel algorithm that converts to a hierarchical ...

    • Surface Reconstruction Based on Hierarchical Floating Radial Basis Functions 

      Suessmuth, J.; Meyer, Q.; Greiner, G. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      In this paper we address the problem of optimal centre placement for scattered data approximation using radial basis functions (RBFs) by introducing the concept of floating centres. Given an initial least-squares solution, ...
