Reinterpretable Imager: Towards Variable Post-Capture Space, Angle and Time Resolution in Photography
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)We describe a novel multiplexing approach to achieve tradeoffs in space, angle and time resolution in photography. We explore the problem of mapping useful subsets of time-varying 4D lightfields in a single snapshot. Our ... -
Fast High-Dimensional Filtering Using the Permutohedral Lattice
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)Many useful algorithms for processing images and geometry fall under the general framework of high-dimensional Gaussian filtering. This family of algorithms includes bilateral filtering and non-local means. We propose a ... -
Two-Colored Pixels
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)In this paper we show how to use two-colored pixels as a generic tool for image processing. We apply two-colored pixels as a basic operator as well as a supporting data structure for several image processing applications. ... -
Motion Blur for EWA Surface Splatting
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)This paper presents a novel framework for elliptical weighted average (EWA) surface splatting with time-varying scenes. We extend the theoretical basis of the original framework by replacing the 2D surface reconstruction ... -
Perceptually-motivated Real-time Temporal Upsampling of 3D Content for High-refresh-rate Displays
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)High-refresh-rate displays (e. g., 120 Hz) have recently become available on the consumer market and quickly gain on popularity. One of their aims is to reduce the perceived blur created by moving objects that are tracked ... -
Scalable Height Field Self-Shadowing
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)We present a new method suitable for general purpose graphics processing units to render self-shadows on dynamic height fields under dynamic light environments in real-time. Visibility for each point in the height field ... -
Improved Variational Guiding of Smoke Animations
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)Smoke animations are hard to art-direct because simple changes in parameters such as simulation resolution often lead to unpredictable changes in the final result. Previous work has addressed this problem with a guiding ... -
Tetrahedral Embedded Boundary Methods for Accurate and Flexible Adaptive Fluids
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)When simulating fluids, tetrahedral methods provide flexibility and ease of adaptivity that Cartesian grids find difficult to match. However, this approach has so far been limited by two conflicting requirements. First, ... -
A Hybrid Approach to Multiple Fluid Simulation using Volume Fractions
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)This paper presents a hybrid approach to multiple fluid simulation that can handle miscible and immiscible fluids, simultaneously. We combine distance functions and volume fractions to capture not only the discontinuous ... -
Hybrid Simulation of Miscible Mixing with Viscous Fingering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)By modeling mass transfer phenomena, we simulate solids and liquids dissolving or changing to other substances. We also deal with the very small-scale phenomena that occur when a fluid spreads out at the interface of another ... -
Inverse Procedural Modeling by Automatic Generation of L-systems
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)We present an important step towards the solution of the problem of inverse procedural modeling by generating parametric context-free L-systems that represent an input 2D model. The L-system rules efficiently code the ... -
Sketching Clothoid Splines Using Shortest Paths
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)Clothoid splines are gaining popularity as a curve representation due to their intrinsically pleasing curvature, which varies piecewise linearly over arc length. However, constructing them from hand-drawn strokes remains ... -
Electors Voting for Fast Automatic Shape Correspondence
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)This paper challenges the difficult problem of automatic semantic correspondence between two given shapes which are semantically similar but possibly geometrically very different (e.g., a dog and an elephant). We argue ... -
Consensus Skeleton for Non-rigid Space-time Registration
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)We introduce the notion of consensus skeletons for non-rigid space-time registration of a deforming shape. Instead of basing the registration on point features, which are local and sensitive to noise, we adopt the curve ... -
Adding Depth to Cartoons Using Sparse Depth (In)equalities
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)This paper presents a novel interactive approach for adding depth information into hand-drawn cartoon images and animations. In comparison to previous depth assignment techniques our solution requires minimal user effort ... -
Printed Patterns for Enhanced Shape Perception of Papercraft Models
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)Papercraft models can serve as inexpensive prototypes in shape design applications. However, in making the models some geometric detail is necessarily lost, and artificial creases may be visible, thereby limiting the utility ... -
BetweenIT: An Interactive Tool for Tight Inbetweening
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)The generation of inbetween frames that interpolate a given set of key frames is a major component in the production of a 2D feature animation. Our objective is to considerably reduce the cost of the inbetweening phase by ... -
The Virtual Director: a Correlation-Based Online Viewing of Human Motion
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)Automatic camera control for scenes depicting human motion is an imperative topic in motion capture base animation, computer games, and other animation based fields. This challenging control problem is complex and combines ... -
Articulated Billboards for Video-based Rendering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)We present a novel representation and rendering method for free-viewpoint video of human characters based on multiple input video streams. The basic idea is to approximate the articulated 3D shape of the human body using ... -
Shared Sampling for Real-Time Alpha Matting
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)Image matting aims at extracting foreground elements from an image by means of color and opacity (alpha) estimation. While a lot of progress has been made in recent years on improving the accuracy of matting techniques, ...
