In this paper, we show that genetic algorithms (GA) can be used to control the output of procedural modeling algorithms. We propose an efficient way to encode the choices that have to be made during a procedural generation ...

We propose an efficient procedure for calculating partial dense intrinsic correspondence between deformable shapes performed entirely in the spectral domain. Our technique relies on the recently introduced partial functional ...

We introduce design transformations for rule-based procedural models, e.g., for buildings and plants. Given two or more procedural designs, each specified by a grammar, a design transformation combines elements of the ...

Quantitative analysis of cave systems represented as 3D models is becoming more and more important in the field of cave sciences. One open question is the rigorous identification of chambers in a data set, which has a deep ...

We define a novel geometric predicate and a class of objects that enables us to prove a linear bound on the number of intersecting polygon pairs for colliding 3D objects in that class. Our predicate is relevant both in ...

We present a novel system for the interactive modeling of developmental climbing plants with an emphasis on efficient control and plausible physics response. A plant is represented by a set of connected anisotropic particles ...

The goal of procedural modeling is to generate realistic content. The realism of this content is typically assessed by qualitatively evaluating a small number of results, or, less frequently, by conducting a user study. ...

We consider the problem of non-rigid shape matching, and specifically the functional maps framework that was recently proposed to find correspondences between shapes. A key step in this framework is to formulate descriptor ...

Analyzing and generating sampling patterns are fundamental problems for many applications in computer graphics. Ideally, point patterns should conform to the problem at hand with spatially adaptive density and correlations. ...

3D garment capture is an important component for various applications such as free-view point video, virtual avatars, online shopping, and virtual cloth fitting. Due to the complexity of the deformations, capturing 3D ...
