An Efficient Hybrid Incompressible SPH Solver with Interface Handling for Boundary Conditions
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We propose a hybrid smoothed particle hydrodynamics solver for efficientlysimulating incompressible fluids using an interface handling method for boundary conditions in the pressure Poisson equation. We blend particle ... -
Enhanced Visualization of Detected 3D Geometric Differences
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)The wide availability of 3D acquisition devices makes viable their use for shape monitoring. The current techniques for the analysis of time‐varying data can efficiently detect actual significant geometric changes and rule ... -
Enhancing the Realism of Sketch and Painted Portraits With Adaptable Patches
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Realizing unrealistic faces is a complicated task that requires a rich imagination and comprehension of facial structures. When face matching, warping or stitching techniques are applied, existing methods are generally ... -
Frame Rate vs Resolution: A Subjective Evaluation of Spatiotemporal Perceived Quality Under Varying Computational Budgets
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Maximizing performance for rendered content requires making compromises on quality parameters depending on the computational resources available . Yet, it is currently unclear which parameters best maximize perceived ... -
Guidelines for Quantitative Evaluation of Medical Visualizations on the Example of 3D Aneurysm Surface Comparisons
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Medical visualizations are highly adapted to a specific medical application scenario. Therefore, many researchers conduct qualitative evaluations with a low number of physicians or medical experts to assess the benefits ... -
Human Factors in Streaming Data Analysis: Challenges and Opportunities for Information Visualization
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Real‐world systems change continuously. In domains such as traffic monitoring or cyber security, such changes occur within short time scales. This results in a streaming data problem and leads to unique challenges for the ... -
Improved Corners with Multi‐Channel Signed Distance Fields
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We propose an extension to the state‐of‐the‐art text rendering technique based on sampling a 2D signed distance field from a texture. This extension significantly improves the visual quality of sharp corners, which is the ... -
Interactive Large‐Scale Procedural Forest Construction and Visualization Based on Particle Flow Simulation
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Interactive visualization of large forest scenes is challenging due to the large amount of geometric detail that needs to be generated and stored, particularly in scenarios with a moving observer such as forest walkthroughs ... -

Large‐Scale Pixel‐Precise Deferred Vector Maps
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Rendering vector maps is a key challenge for high‐quality geographic visualization systems. In this paper, we present a novel approach to visualize vector maps over detailed terrain models in a pixel‐precise way. Our method ... -
Olfaction and Selective Rendering
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Accurate simulation of all the senses in virtual environments is a computationally expensive task. Visual saliency models have been used to improve computational performance for rendered content, but this is insufficient ... -
On the Stability of Functional Maps and Shape Difference Operators
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)In this paper, we provide stability guarantees for two frameworks that are based on the notion of functional maps—the framework of shape difference operators and the one of analyzing and visualizing the deformations between ... -
Peridynamics‐Based Fracture Animation for Elastoplastic Solids
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)In this paper, we exploit the use of peridynamics theory for graphical animation of material deformation and fracture. We present a new meshless framework for elastoplastic constitutive modelling that contrasts with previous ... -
ProactiveCrowd: Modelling Proactive Steering Behaviours for Agent‐Based Crowd Simulation
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)How to realistically model an agent's steering behaviour is a critical issue in agent‐based crowd simulation. In this work, we investigate some proactive steering strategies for agents to minimize potential collisions. To ... -
Realistic Ultrasound Simulation of Complex Surface Models Using Interactive Monte‐Carlo Path Tracing
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Ray‐based simulations have been shown to generate impressively realistic ultrasound images in interactive frame rates. Recent efforts used GPU‐based surface raytracing to simulate complex ultrasound interactions such as ... -
The State of the Art in Sentiment Visualization
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Visualization of sentiments and opinions extracted from or annotated in texts has become a prominent topic of research over the last decade. From basic pie and bar charts used to illustrate customer reviews to extensive ... -
Stereo‐Consistent Contours in Object Space
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Notebook scribbles, art or technical illustrations—line drawings are a simplistic method to visually communicate information. Automated line drawings often originate from virtual 3D models, but one cannot trivially experience ... -
Story Albums: Creating Fictional Stories From Personal Photograph Sets
