This paper addresses the problem of reconstructing non-rigid 3D geometries from temporal image sequences captured with only a single camera under full perspective projection. Without the knowledge of a shape deformation ...

Structure-preserving image smoothing aims to extract semantically meaningful image structure from texture, which is one of the fundamental problems in computer vision and graphics. However, it is still not clear how to ...

Time-dependent particle-based simulations are typically carried out by direct calculation of interactions between particles over time. The investigation of higher order effects of particle clusters helps understanding the ...

Reducing the amount of conditional branching instructions in innermost loops is crucial for high performance code on contemporary hardware architectures. In the context of ray tracing algorithms, typical examples for ...

Brushing is at the heart of most modern visual analytics solutions with coordinated, multiple views and effective brushing is crucial for swift and efficient processes in data exploration and analysis. Given a certain data ...

Recurrent neural networks are prime candidates for learning relationships and evolutions in multi-dimensional time series data. The performance of such a network is judged by the loss function, which is aggregated into a ...

Polygonal meshes are used in various fields ranging from CAD to gaming and web based applications. Reducing the size required for storing and transmitting these meshes by taking advantage of redundancies is an important ...

Industrial applications like luminaire development (the creation of a luminaire in terms of geometry and material) or lighting design (the efficient and aesthetic placement of luminaires in a virtual scene) rely heavily ...

We propose an automatic approach for fast vertebral body segmentation in three-dimensional magnetic resonance images of the whole spine. Previous works are limited to the lower thoracolumbar section and often take minutes ...

In this paper, we introduce Pixel Cache Light Tracing, which is a new low-noise combination of eye-path and light-path tracing. In the first pass, eye-path vertices are distributed from the observer and stored in a hit ...
