    • Multidimensional Shape Modeling for Animation 

      Pasko, Alexander; Adzhiev, Valery; Fausett, Eric (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      An approach is proposed for generating animation sequences from functionally defined multidimensional shapes. An animation sequence can be considered as a particular case of a multimedia object and can be described using ...

    • Towards Spatial Specification of Interactive System 

      Rodriguez, M. L.; Gea, M.; Gutiérrez, F. L. (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Modern interactive systems are oriented towards information management in a graphical environment. Formal specification techniques [1] help designers to describe systems, focusing on the relevant aspects of the interaction ...

    • On Time-Varying Flow Fields: a streakline-based visualization method 

      Sanna, Andrea; Montrucchio, Bartolomeo; Arina, Renzo (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      The visualization of unsteady flows is an attractive field of research and texture-based techniques seem to provide satisfactory results. In this paper we propose a texture-based method which follows streaklines in order ...

    • A First Step to Evaluate and Compare Multiresolution Models 

      Ribelles, J.; Chover, M.; Lopez, A.; Huerta, J. (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      A variety of multiresolution models for arbitrary triangle meshes have been presented in the last years. In order to achieve an interactive visualization, multiresolution models must store and retrieve data efficiently. ...

    • Information Technologies for Set-designers 

      Silva, C. (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      The project The set-designer and the instruments of his days–New information technologies for the theatre was proposed in the second edition of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation competition, Impresa & Cultura, Intrapresae ...

    • CharToon: a system to animate 2D cartoons faces 

      ten Hagen, Paul; Noot, Han; Ruttkay, Zsofia (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      We discuss the CharToon system by which one can interactively construct parametrized 2D drawings and a set of time curves to animate the drawings. The system has been implemented in JAVA and used to produce and animate 2D ...

    • The InViWo virtual agents 

      Richard, N.; Codognet, P.; Grumbach, A. (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      The InViWo project aims at providing non-computer scientists with high-level tools to create inhabited virtual worlds, i.e. in which autonomous agents and avatars can interact. In this paper, we describe the agent model ...

    • Visible Surface Reconstruction with Accurate Localization of Object Boundaries 

      March, Riccardo; Pedersini, Federico (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      An important problem in 3D reconstruction from multiple perspective views is the accurate recovery of surfaces near the discontinuities (object boundaries and creases). A common limitation of many techniques based on ...

    • Scanning Michelangelos Florentine Pieta: Making the Results Usable 

      Bernardini, F.; Mittleman, J.; Rushmeier, H.; Taubin, G. (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      We describe a project to create a three dimensional digital model ofMichelangelo’s Florentine Pietà. In particular, we examine how to edit and interactively view the model that consists of millions of triangles and hundreds ...

    • HIT! BAT! IT! 

      Maegawa, Hideaki (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Today’s high technology is tomorrow’s standard technology. In this rapidly progressing computer graphics world, my goal as designer is to polish and improve on the "old" and well-used skills. This production was originally ...

    • Virtual Reconstruction of Medieval Architecture
