• Approximating Planar Conformal Maps Using Regular Polygonal Meshes 

  Chen, Renjie; Gotsman, Craig (© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)

  Continuous conformal maps are typically approximated numerically using a triangle mesh which discretizes the plane. Computing a conformal map subject to user‐provided constraints then reduces to a sparse linear system, ...

• Noise Reduction on G‐Buffers for Monte Carlo Filtering 

  Moon, Bochang; Iglesias‐Guitian, Jose A.; McDonagh, Steven; Mitchell, Kenny (© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)

  We propose a novel pre‐filtering method that reduces the noise introduced by depth‐of‐field and motion blur effects in geometric buffers (G‐buffers) such as texture, normal and depth images. Our pre‐filtering uses world ...

• Intrinsic Light Field Images 

  Garces, Elena; Echevarria, Jose I.; Zhang, Wen; Wu, Hongzhi; Zhou, Kun; Gutierrez, Diego (© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)

  We present a method to automatically decompose a light field into its intrinsic shading and albedo components. Contrary to previous work targeted to two‐dimensional (2D) single images and videos, a light field is a 4D ...

• Partitioning Surfaces Into Quadrilateral Patches: A Survey 

  Campen, M. (© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)

  The efficient and practical representation and processing of geometrically or topologically complex shapes often demands a partitioning into simpler patches. Possibilities range from unstructured arrangements of arbitrarily ...

• Real‐Time Solar Exposure Simulation in Complex Cities 

  Muñoz‐Pandiella, I.; Bosch, C.; Mérillou, N.; Pueyo, X.; Mérillou, S. (© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)

  In urban design, estimating solar exposure on complex city models is crucial but existing solutions typically focus on simplified building models and are too demanding in terms of memory and computational time. In this ...

• Hexahedral Meshing With Varying Element Sizes 

  Xu, Kaoji; Gao, Xifeng; Deng, Zhigang; Chen, Guoning (© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)

  Hexahedral (or Hex‐) meshes are preferred in a number of scientific and engineering simulations and analyses due to their desired numerical properties. Recent state‐of‐the‐art techniques can generate high‐quality hex‐meshes. ...

• Contracting Medial Surfaces Isotropically for Fast Extraction of Centred Curve Skeletons 

  Li, Lei; Wang, Wencheng (© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)

  Curve skeletons, which are a compact representation for three‐dimensional shapes, must be extracted such that they are high quality, centred and smooth. However, the centredness measurements in existing methods are expensive, ...

• Enhancing Urban Façades via LiDAR‐Based Sculpting 

  Peethambaran, Jiju; Wang, Ruisheng (© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)
