    • Accurate Dense Stereo Reconstruction using Graphics Hardware 

      Zach, Christopher; Klaus, Andreas; Hadwiger, Markus; Karner, Konrad (Konrad, 2003)
      Vertex programs and pixel shaders found in modern graphics hardware are commonly used to enhance the realism of rendered scenes. Recently these hardware facilities were exploited to obtain interactive non-photorealistic ...
    • An Iterative Stripification Algorithm Based on Dual Graph Operations 

      Porcu, Massimiliano B.; Scateni, Riccardo (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      This paper describes the preliminary results obtained using an iterative method for generating a set of triangle strips from a mesh of triangles. The algorithm uses a simple topological operation on the dual graph of the ...

      In this paper, new techniques are introduced for matching cyclic motion boundaries by using simple animation processing algorithms based on some observed characteristics from different families of cyclic motions. Matching ...
    • Morphing Rational B-spline Curves and Surfaces Using Mass Distributions 

      Ju, Tao; Goldman, Ron (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      A rational B-spline curve or surface is a collection of points associated with a mass (weight) distribution. These mass distributions can be used to exert local control over the morph between two rational B-spline curves ...
    • Trans-Polygon Stroke Method for Frame Coherent Pastel Images 

      Murakami, Kyoko; Tsuruno, Reiji (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      We propose Trans-Polygon Stroke Method (TPSM) for creating pastel-like animation that keeps frame-to-frame coherence. There are several variable factors in hand-drawn pastel such as paper roughness and pigments. When these ...
    • ActiveInk 

      Tobita, Hiroaki; Rekimoto, Jun (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      The ActiveInk system integrates the advantages of real world painting techniques with computer graphics (CG) effects such as natural phenomenon animations (e.g., water, fire, snow, and clouds), attributes (e.g., rubber, ...
    • Occlusion Culling for Image-Based Rendering withWarping 

      Soner, I. Sen; Atalay, Volkan (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      The basic idea of the proposed algorithm is to reduce the number of depth pixels in Layer Depth Images (LDI) by culling the occluded ones before warping. The method combines the octree spatial subdivision concept with LDI ...
    • Goniometric Diagram Mapping for Hemisphere 

      Havran, Vlastimil; Dmitriev, Kirill; Seidel, Hans-Peter (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Describing the light intensity over the hemisphere using a goniometric diagram is a common practice in the lighting industry and is prescribed for instance by IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North America) ...
    • Information Visualization using Transparent Shape Impostors 

      Seipel, Stefan (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Transparency is a graphical effect used in visualizations to present co-located graphical glyphs. Accomplishing a visually convincing transparency effect requires complex calculations of light absorption and refraction in ...
    • On the characterization of avatars in Distributed Virtual Worlds 

      Morillo, Pedro; Fernandez, Marcos; Orduna, Juan Manuel (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Current Distributed Virtual Environment (DVE) systems run simulations based on a server-network architecture, where the population of avatars should be properly assigned to the servers in the DVE. This goal, called ...
    • Skeleton Subspace Deformation with Displacement Map 

      Liu, Feng; Liang, Ronghua; Ye, Dahai (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Skeleton Subspace Deformation (SSD) is a novel Free Form Deformation technology (FFD), and plays an important role in character animation, interactive game and other fields. In this paper, we present a new layered algorithm ...
    • Evolutionary Design of BRDFs 

      Meyer-Spradow, Jennis; Loviscach, Joern (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      The look of a non-transparent material is determined by its bidirectional reflection distribution function (BRDF). To design 3-D objects for example for games or animation films thus includes to design BRDFs. However, as ...
    • Parallel Visibility Test and Occlusion Culling in Avango Virtual Environment Framework 

      Klimenko, Stanislav; Nikitina, Lialia; Nikitin, Igor (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Real-time visibility test is an attractive feature for Virtual Environment (VE) applications where large datasets should be interactively explored. In such scenes most of the objects are usually occluded by other ones, and ...
