    • Spectral Gradient Sampling for Path Tracing 

      Petitjean, Victor; Bauszat, Pablo; Eisemann, Elmar (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Spectral Monte-Carlo methods are currently the most powerful techniques for simulating light transport with wavelengthdependent phenomena (e.g., dispersion, colored particle scattering, or diffraction gratings). Compared ...

    • Deep Adaptive Sampling for Low Sample Count Rendering 

      Kuznetsov, Alexandr; Kalantari, Nima Khademi; Ramamoorthi, Ravi (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Recently, deep learning approaches have proven successful at removing noise from Monte Carlo (MC) rendered images at extremely low sampling rates, e.g., 1-4 samples per pixel (spp). While these methods provide dramatic ...

    • Progressive Multi-Jittered Sample Sequences 

      Christensen, Per; Kensler, Andrew; Kilpatrick, Charlie (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      We introduce three new families of stochastic algorithms to generate progressive 2D sample point sequences. This opens a general framework that researchers and practitioners may find useful when developing future sample ...

    • Acquisition and Validation of Spectral Ground Truth Data for Predictive Rendering of Rough Surfaces 

      Clausen, Olaf; Marroquim, Ricardo; Fuhrmann, Arnulph (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Physically based rendering uses principles of physics to model the interaction of light with matter. Even though it is possible to achieve photorealistic renderings, it often fails to be predictive. There are two major ...

    • Stratified Sampling of Projected Spherical Caps 

      Ureña, Carlos; Georgiev, Iliyan (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      We present a method for uniformly sampling points inside the projection of a spherical cap onto a plane through the sphere's center. To achieve this, we devise two novel area-preserving mappings from the unit square to ...

    • Eurographics Symposium on Rendering: Frontmatter 

      Jakob, Wenzel; Hachisuka, Toshiya (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)

    • Interactive Investigation of Traffic Congestion on Fat-Tree Networks Using TREESCOPE 

      Bhatia, Harsh; Jain, Nikhil; Bhatele, Abhinav; Livnat, Yarden; Domke, Jens; Pascucci, Valerio; Bremer, Peer-Timo (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Parallel simulation codes often suffer from performance bottlenecks due to network congestion, leaving millions of dollars of investments underutilized. Given a network topology, it is critical to understand how different ...

    • Multiscale Visualization and Exploration of Large Bipartite Graphs 

      Pezzotti, Nicola; Fekete, Jean-Daniel; Höllt, Thomas; Lelieveldt, Boudewijn P. F.; Eisemann, Elmar; Vilanova, Anna (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      A bipartite graph is a powerful abstraction for modeling relationships between two collections. Visualizations of bipartite graphs allow users to understand the mutual relationships between the elements in the two collections, ...

    • SetCoLa: High-Level Constraints for Graph Layout 

      Hoffswell, Jane; Borning, Alan; Heer, Jeffrey (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Constraints enable flexible graph layout by combining the ease of automatic layout with customizations for a particular domain. However, constraint-based layout often requires many individual constraints defined over ...

    • Rendering and Extracting Extremal Features in 3D Fields 

      Kindlmann, Gordon L.; Chiw, Charisee; Huynh, Tri; Gyulassy, Attila; Reppy, John; Bremer, Peer-Timo (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Visualizing and extracting three-dimensional features is important for many computational science applications, each with their own feature definitions and data types. While some are simple to state and implement (e.g. ...

    • Spatio-Temporal Contours from Deep Volume Raycasting 

      Frey, Steffen (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      We visualize contours for spatio-temporal processes to indicate where and when non-continuous changes occur or spatial bounds are encountered. All time steps are comprised densely in one visualization, with contours allowing ...

    • Cosine-Weighted B-Spline Interpolation on the Face-Centered Cubic Lattice 

      Rácz, Gergely Ferenc; Csébfalvi, Balázs (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Cosine-Weighted B-spline (CWB) interpolation [Csé13] has been originally proposed for volumetric data sampled on the Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) lattice. The BCC lattice is well known to be optimal for sampling isotropically ...

    • Baseball Timeline: Summarizing Baseball Plays Into a Static Visualization 

      Ono, Jorge H. Piazentin; Dietrich, Carlos; Silva, Claudio T. (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      In sports, Play Diagrams are the standard way to represent and convey information. They are widely used by coaches, managers, journalists and fans in general. There are situations where diagrams may be hard to understand, ...
