Operator Representations in Geometry Processing
(2017)This thesis introduces fundamental equations as well as discrete tools and numerical methods for carrying out various geometrical tasks on three-dimensional surfaces via operators. An example for an operator is the Laplacian ... -
A Generalized Proceduralization Framework for Urban Models with Applications in Procedural Modeling, Synthesis, and Reconstruction
(ProQuest Dissertations Publishing, 2017)The technological developments in the last century have carried us from a few pixels per screen to infinite worlds. Consecutively, recent bottleneck in graphics industry has been changing from the “means” to the “objects”, ... -
Face2Face: Real-time Facial Reenactment
(2017)In this dissertation we show our advances in the field of 3D reconstruction of human faces using commodity hardware. Beside the reconstruction of the facial geometry and texture, real-time face tracking is demonstrated. The ... -
Dynamic and Probabilistic Point-Cloud Processing
(2017)In recent years, the scanning of real-world physical objects using 3d acquisition devices has become an everyday task. Such 3d scanners output a set of three-dimensional points, called point cloud, sampling the surface of ... -
Structure-aware content creation: Detection, retargeting and deformation
(2017-01-20)Nowadays, access to digital information has become ubiquitous, while three-dimensional visual representation is becoming indispensable to knowledge understanding and information retrieval. Three-dimensional digitization ... -
Controllable Shape Synthesis for Digital Fabrication
(Université de Lorraine, 2017-02-03)The main goal of this thesis is to propose methods to synthesize shapes in a controllable manner, with the purpose of being fabricated. As 3D printers grow more accessible than ever, modeling software must now take into ... -
Realistic Visualization of Accessories within Interactive Simulation Systems for Garment Prototyping
(2017-03-03)In virtual garment prototyping, designers create a garment design by using Computer Aided Design (CAD). In difference to traditional CAD the word "aided" in this case refers to the computer replicating real world behavior ... -
Enhancing Digital Fabrication with Advanced Modeling Techniques
(2017-04)A few years ago there were only expensive machineries dedicated to rapid prototyping for professionals or industrial application, while nowadays very affordable solutions are on the market and have become useful tools for ... -
Topological Changes in Simulations of Deformable Objects
(Université de Strasbourg and archives-ouvertes.fr, 2017-04)Virtual cutting of deformable objects is at the core of many applications in interactive simulation and especially in computational medicine. The ability to simulate surgical cuts, soft tissue tearing or fractures, is ... -
The Impact of Virtual Embodiment on Perception, Attitudes, and Behaviour
(TDX (Tesis Doctorals en Xarxa), 2017-04-26)Over the past two decades extensive research in experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and virtual reality has provided evidence for the malleability of our brain's body representation. It has been shown that a ... -
High dynamic range imaging: problems of video exposure bracketing, luminance calibration and gloss editing
(2017-06-02)Two-dimensional, conventional images are gradually losing their hegemony, leaving room for novel formats. Among these, 8 bit images give place to high dynamic range (HDR) image formats, allowing to improve colour gamut and ... -
High-quality Face Capture, Animation and Editing from Monocular Video
(2017-06-26)Digitization of virtual faces in movies requires complex capture setups and extensive manual work to produce superb animations and video-realistic editing. This thesis pushes the boundaries of the digitization pipeline by ... -
Adjoint-Driven Importance Sampling in Light Transport Simulation
(Charles University, Prague, 2017-06-26)Monte Carlo light transport simulation has recently been adopted by the movie industry as a standard tool for producing photo realistic imagery. As the industry pushes current technologies to the very edge of their ... -
Geometric Deep Learning for Shape Analysis
