    • 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 ...

    • 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, ...

    • Adaptive quantization with error bounds for compressed view-dependent multiresolution meshes 

      Grabner, Markus; Zach, Christopher (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      We present a simple method to adaptively determine compression parameters according to the given input data. Our method allows to make better use of the available dynamic range (number of bits per component of vertex ...

    • Animatope: A Manga-Styled Animation Expression Toolkit 

      Tohda, Asuka; Hasegawa, Sho; Inakage, Masa (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Manga, a Japanese comic style, is becoming widely accepted within comic readers worldwide. In Manga, mimetic symbols and onomatopoeia symbols are heavily used to express emotions and various movements in a comic frame. In ...

    • Automatic High Level Avatar Guidance Based on Affordance of Movement 

      Michael, Despina; Chrysanthou, Yiorgos (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      As virtual cities become ever more common and more extensive, the need to populate them with virtual pedestrians grows. One of the problems to be resolved for the virtual population is the behaviour simulation. Currently ...

    • Beyond Image Quality Comparison 

      Bornik, Alexander; Cech, Peter; Ferko, Andrej; Perko, Roland (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      We solve the problem of quantitative measuring of image quality, beyond the widely used MSE (mean square error) or even visual comparison. We combine eight feature-based and perceptually-oriented image quality metrics. The ...

    • Continuous Local Parameterization of Polygons 

      Maillot, Jerome (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Texture mapping has now become a standard technique for adding visual details to 3d models. Nevertheless, intuitive mapping tools have made little progress in the past decade, compared to other computer graphics areas: ...

    • Crosstalk reduction in passive stereo-projection systems 

      Klimenko, Stanislav; Frolov, Pavel; Nikitina, Lialia; Nikitin, Igor (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      We describe a scheme for reduction of depolarization artefacts in passive stereo-projection systems. These problems appear due to non-perfectness of stereo-projection equipment: depolarization of the light due to reflection ...

    • Cyclification of Human Motion for Animation Synthesis 

      Ahmed, Amr; Mokhtarian, Farzin; Hilton, Adrian (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      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 ...

    • Efficient Sampling of Textured Scenes in Vertex Tracing 

      Ullmann, Thomas; Preidel, Thomas; Bruderlin, Beat (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      We present vertex tracing, an adaptive progressive ray tracing approach for efficient sampling of the radiance function, based on refinement in object space and subsequent reconstruction, using standard 3D graphics accelerator ...

    • Estimating Positions and Radiances of a Small Number of Light Sources for Real-Time Image-Based Lighting 

      Madsen, Claus B.; Sorensen, Mads K. D.; Vittrup, Michael (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Image-based lighting (IBL) of virtual objects has become a popular approach to blending virtual and real scenes. In IBL an omni-directional image of a scene is used as the illumination environment for rendering virtual ...

    • 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 ...

    • Extending the Immediate Buckling Model to Triangular Meshes for Simulating Complex Clothes 

      Choi, Kwang-Jin; Ko, Hyeong-Seok (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      The immediate buckling model is an essential element for simulating realistic cloth animations without introducing buckling instability. The original model is restricted to structured regular quad meshes, by which its use ...
