11th International Symposium on Virtual Reality, Archaology and Cultural Heritge: 8th Eurographics Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011) -
32nd EUROGRAPHICS General Assembly
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011) -
Adaptive Records for Irradiance Caching
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Irradiance Caching is one of the most widely used algorithms to speed up global illumination. In this paper, we propose an algorithm based on the Irradiance Caching scheme that allows us (1) to adjust the density of cached ... -
All-Hex Mesh Generation via Volumetric PolyCube Deformation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)While hexahedral mesh elements are preferred by a variety of simulation techniques, constructing quality all-hex meshes of general shapes remains a challenge. An attractive hex-meshing approach, often referred to as ... -
Allometric Scaling for Character Design
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Geometric scaling transformations do not respect the biological processes which govern the size and shape of living creatures. In this paper, we describe an approach to scaling which can be related to biological function. ... -
Anaglyph Stereo Without Ghosting
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Anaglyph stereo provides a low-budget solution to viewing stereoscopic images. However, it may suffer from ghosting and bad color reproduction. Here we address the first issue. We present a novel technique to perceptually ... -
Anatomy-Guided Multi-Level Exploration of Blood Flow in Cerebral Aneurysms
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)For cerebral aneurysms, the ostium, the area of inflow, is an important anatomic landmark, since it separates the pathological vessel deformation from the healthy parent vessel. A better understanding of the inflow ... -
As-Killing-As-Possible Vector Fields for Planar Deformation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Cartoon animation, image warping, and several other tasks in two-dimensional computer graphics reduce to the formulation of a reasonable model for planar deformation. A deformation is a map from a given shape to a new one, ... -
Assisted Descriptor Selection Based on Visual Comparative Data Analysis
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Exploration and selection of data descriptors representing objects using a set of features are important components in many data analysis tasks. Usually, for a given dataset, an optimal data description does not exist, as ... -
Asynchronous Evolution for Fully-Implicit and Semi-Implicit Time Integration
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)We propose a series of techniques for hybridizing implicit and semi-implicit time integration methods in a manner that retains much of the speed of the implicit method without sacrificing all of the higher quality vibrations ... -
Authoring Hierarchical Road Networks
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)We present a procedural method for generating hierarchical road networks connecting cities, towns and villages over large terrains. Our approach relies on an original geometric graph generation algorithm based on a non- ... -
Automatic Registration of Multi-Projector Domes Using a Single Uncalibrated Camera
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)In this paper we present a novel technique for easily calibrating multiple casually aligned projectors on spherical domes using a single uncalibrated camera. Using the prior knowledge of the display surface being a dome, ... -
Bertin was Right: An Empirical Evaluation of Indexing to Compare Multivariate Time-Series Data Using Line Plots
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Line plots are very well suited for visually representing time-series. However, several difficulties arise when multivariate heterogeneous time-series data is displayed and compared visually. Especially, if the developments ... -
Bipartite Polar Classification for Surface Reconstruction
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)In this paper, we propose bipartite polar classification to augment an input unorganized point set P with two disjoint groups of points distributed around the ambient space of P to assist the task of surface reconstruction. ... -
Blur-Aware Image Downsampling
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Resizing to a lower resolution can alter the appearance of an image. In particular, downsampling an image causes blurred regions to appear sharper. It is useful at times to create a downsampled version of the image that ... -
BSSRDF Estimation from Single Images
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)We present a novel method to estimate an approximation of the reflectance characteristics of optically thick, homogeneous translucent materials using only a single photograph as input. First, we approximate the diffusion ... -
CheckViz: Sanity Check and Topological Clues for Linear and Non-Linear Mappings
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Multidimensional scaling is a must-have tool for visual data miners, projecting multidimensional data onto a two-dimensional plane. However, what we see is not necessarily what we think about. In many cases, end-users do ... -
Coarse-to-Fine Combinatorial Matching for Dense Isometric Shape Correspondence
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)We present a dense correspondence method for isometric shapes, which is accurate yet computationally efficient. We minimize the isometric distortion directly in the 3D Euclidean space, i.e., in the domain where isometry ... -
Coherent Out-of-Core Point-Based Global Illumination
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)We describe a new technique for coherent out-of-core point-based global illumination and ambient occlusion. Point-based global illumination (PBGI) is used in production to render tremendously complex scenes, so in-core ... -
Combinatorial Bidirectional Path-Tracing for Efficient Hybrid CPU/GPU Rendering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)This paper presents a reformulation of bidirectional path-tracing that adequately divides the algorithm into processes efficiently executed in parallel on both the CPU and the GPU. We thus benefit from high-level optimization ...
