• Learning 3D Scene Synthesis from Annotated RGB-D Images 

  Kermani, Zeinab Sadeghipour; Liao, Zicheng; Tan, Ping; Zhang, Hao (Richard) (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

  We present a data-driven method for synthesizing 3D indoor scenes by inserting objects progressively into an initial, possibly, empty scene. Instead of relying on few hundreds of hand-crafted 3D scenes, we take advantage ...

• Construction of Topologically Correct and Manifold Isosurfaces 

  Grosso, Roberto (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

  We present a simple method to describe the geometry and topologically classify the intersection of level sets of trilinear interpolants with a reference unit cell. The solutions of three quadratic equations are used to ...

• Curve Reconstruction with Many Fewer Samples 

  Ohrhallinger, Stefan; Mitchell, Scott A.; Wimmer, Michael (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

  We consider the problem of sampling points from a collection of smooth curves in the plane, such that the CRUST family of proximity-based reconstruction algorithms can rebuild the curves. Reconstruction requires a dense ...

• Crawl through Neighbors: A Simple Curve Reconstruction Algorithm 

  Parakkat, Amal Dev; Muthuganapathy, Ramanathan (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

  Given a planar point set sampled from an object boundary, the process of approximating the original shape is called curve reconstruction. In this paper, a novel non-parametric curve reconstruction algorithm based on Delaunay ...

• Data-Driven Bending Elasticity Design by Shell Thickness 

  Zhang, Xiaoting; Le, Xinyi; Wu, Zihao; Whiting, Emily; Wang, Charlie C. L. (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

  We present a method to design the deformation behavior of 3D printed models by an interactive tool, where the variation of bending elasticity at different regions of a model is realized by a change in shell thickness. Given ...

• Interactive Modeling of Mechanical Objects 

  Ureta, Francisca Gil; Tymms, Chelsea; Zorin, Denis (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

  Objects with various types of mechanical joints are among the most commonly built. Joints implement a vocabulary of simple constrained motions (kinematic pairs) that can be used to build more complex behaviors. Defining ...

• Stable Region Correspondences Between Non-Isometric Shapes 

  Ganapathi-Subramanian, Vignesh; Thibert, Boris; Ovsjanikov, Maks; Guibas, Leonidas (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

  We consider the problem of finding meaningful correspondences between 3D models that are related but not necessarily very similar. When the shapes are quite different, a point-to-point map is not always appropriate, so our ...

• Splines in the Space of Shells 

  Heeren, Behrend; Rumpf, Martin; Schröder, Peter; Wardetzky, Max; Wirth, Benedikt (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

  Cubic splines in Euclidean space minimize the mean squared acceleration among all curves interpolating a given set of data points. We extend this observation to the Riemannian manifold of discrete shells in which the ...
