    • Real-time Novel-view Synthesis for Volume Rendering Using a Piecewise-analytic Representation 

      Lochmann, Gerrit; Reinert, Bernhard; Buchacher, Arend; Ritschel, Tobias (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Novel-view synthesis can be used to hide latency in a real-time remote rendering setup, to increase frame rate or to produce advanced visual effects such as depth-of-field or motion blur in volumes or stereo and light field ...
    • 3D Face Reconstruction with Silhouette Constraints 

      Hu, Qiyang; Zwicker, Matthias; Favaro, Paolo (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      In this paper we introduce silhouette constraints to improve the quality of unconstrained 3D face reconstruction. Previously, state of the art unconstrained 3D face reconstruction techniques relied solely on photometric ...

      With the improvement of both acquisition techniques, and computational and storage capabilities, we are witnessing an increasing presence of multidimensional scene representations. Two-dimensional, conventional images are ...
    • Topological Triangle Sorting for Predefined Camera Paths 

      Weber, Christoph; Stamminger, Marc (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      We present a preprocessing pipeline for triangle meshes that topologically sorts all triangles for a given camera and scene animation in front-to-back or back-to-front order. This allows us to efficiently render a given ...
    • Balancing 3D Models with Movable Masses 

      Prévost, Romain; Bächer, Moritz; Jarosz, Wojciech; Sorkine-Hornung, Olga (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      We present an algorithm to balance 3D printed models using movable embedded masses. As input, the user provides a 3D model together with the desired suspension, standing, and immersion objectives. Our technique then ...
    • An Interactive Information Visualization Approach to Physically-Based Rendering 

      Simons, Gerard; Ament, Marco; Herholz, Sebastian; Dachsbacher, Carsten; Eisemann, Martin; Eisemann, Elmar (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      In this work, we present a novel information visualization tool to gain insight into the light transport in a physically-based rendering setting. The tool consists of a sampling-based data reduction technique, an extended ...
    • Metric Evolution Maps: Multidimensional Attribute-driven Exploration of Software Repositories 

      Silva, Renato Rodrigues Oliveira da; Vernier, Eduardo Faccin; Rauber, Paulo Eduardo; Comba, Joao L. D.; Minghim, Rosane; Telea, Alexandru C. (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Understanding how software entities in a repository evolve over time is challenging, as an entity has many aspects that undergo such changes. We cast this problem in a multidimensional visualization context: First, we ...
    • Geodesic Iso-Curve Signature 

      Gehre, Anne; Bommes, David; Kobbelt, Leif (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      During the last decade a set of surface descriptors have been presented describing local surface features. Recent approaches [COO15] have shown that augmenting local descriptors with topological information improves the ...
    • Matting with Sequential Pair Selection Using Graph Transduction 

      Al-Kabbany, Ahmad; Dubois, Eric (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      We are concerned with the natural image matting problem, where the goal is to estimate the partial opacity of a foreground object so that it can be softly segmented from a background. In sampling-based matting techniques, ...
    • Reflection Separation in Light Fields based on Sparse Coding and Specular Flow 

      Sulc, Antonin; Alperovich, Anna; Marniok, Nico; Goldluecke, Bastian (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      We present a method to separate a dichromatic reflection component from diffuse object colors for the set of rays in a 4D light field such that the separation is consistent across all subaperture views. The separation model ...
    • PEEP: Perceptually Enhanced Exploration of Pictures 

      Agus, Marco; Villanueva, Alberto Jaspe; Pintore, Giovanni; Gobbetti, Enrico (The Eurographics Association, 2016)

    • Variable Length Coding for GPU-Based Direct Volume Rendering 

      Guthe, Stefan; Goesele, Michael (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      The sheer size of volume data sampled in a regular grid requires efficient lossless and lossy compression algorithms that allow for on-the-fly decompression during rendering. While all hardware assisted approaches are based ...
    • Structuring 3D Medial Skeletons: A Comparative Study 

      Delame, Thomas; Kustra, Jacek; Telea, Alexandru C. (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Medial skeletons provide an effective alternative to boundary or volumetric representations for applications that focus on shape structure. This capability is provided by the skeletal structure, i.e., the curves and surfaces ...
    • Artistic Composition for Painterly Rendering 

      Lindemeier, Thomas; Spicker, Marc; Deussen, Oliver (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
