    • A Virtual Space with Real IoT Data 

      Faiers, Adam; Hoxey, Thomas; Stephenson, Ian (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Large quantities of live data about an environment can be easily and cheaply collected using a network of small sensors (IoT). However these sensors typically do not display any information directly, and it can be difficult ...

    • Boundary-aided Human Body Shape and Pose Estimation from a Single Image for Garment Design and Manufacture 

      Xu, Zongyi; Zhang, Qianni (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Current virtual clothing design applications mainly use predefined virtual avatars which are created by professionals. The models are unrealistic as they lack the personalised body shapes and the simulation of human body ...

    • Style Translation to Create Child-like Motion 

      Dong, Yuzhu; Aloba, Aishat; Anthony, Lisa; Jain, Eakta (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Animated child characters are increasingly important for educational and entertainment content geared towards younger users. While motion capture technology creates realistic and believable motion for adult characters, the ...

    • Exemplar Based Filtering of 2.5D Meshes of Faces 

      Dihl, Leandro; Cruz, Leandro; Gonçalves, Nuno (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      In this work, we present a content-aware filtering for 2.5D meshes of faces. We propose an exemplar-based filter that corrects each point of a given mesh through local model-exemplar neighborhood comparison. We take advantage ...

    • Growing Circles: A Region Growing Algorithm for Unstructured Grids and Non-aligned Boundaries 

      Dabbaghchian, Saeed (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Detecting the boundaries of an enclosed region is a problem which arises in some applications such as the human upper airway modeling. Using of standard algorithms fails because of the inevitable errors, i.e. gaps and ...

    • Audio-driven Emotional Speech Animation 

      Charalambous, Constantinos; Yumak, Zerrin; Stappen, A. Frank van der (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      We propose a procedural audio-driven speech animation method that takes into account emotional variations in speech. Given any audio with its corresponding speech transcript, the method generates speech animation for any ...

    • RIFNOM: 3D Rotation-Invariant Features on Normal Maps 

      Nakamura, Akihiro; Miyashita, Leo; Watanabe, Yoshihiro; Ishikawa, Masatoshi (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      This paper presents 3D rotation-invariant features on normal maps: RIFNOM.We assign a local coordinate system (CS) to each pixel by using neighbor normals to extract the 3D rotation-invariant features. These features can ...

    • Light Field Synthesis from a Single Image using Improved Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network 

      Ruan, Lingyan; Chen, Bin; Lam, Miu Ling (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      We present a deep learning-based method to synthesize a 4D light field from a single 2D RGB image. We consider the light field synthesis problem equivalent to image super-resolution, and solve it by using the improved ...

    • A Drink in Mars: an Approach to Distributed Reality 

      Perez, Pablo; Gonzalez-Sosa, Ester; Kachach, Redouane; Ruiz, Jaime Jesus; Villegas, Alvaro (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      We have developed A Drink in Mars application as a proof of concept of Distributed Reality, a particularisation of Mixed Reality which combines a reality transmitted from a remote place (e.g. live immersive video stream ...

    • Human Sensitivity to Light Zones in Virtual Scenes 

      Kartashova, Tatiana; Ridder, Huib de; Pas, Susan F. te; Pont, Sylvia C. (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      We investigated perception of light properties in scenes containing volumes with dramatically different light properties (direction, intensity, diffuseness). Each scene had two light zones, defined as distinct spatial ...

    • Smoothing Noisy Skeleton Data in Real Time 

      Hoxey, Thomas; Stephenson, Ian (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      The aim of this project is to be able to visualise live skeleton tracking data in a virtual analogue of a real world environment, to be viewed in VR. Using a single RGBD camera motion tracking method is a cost effective ...

    • Introducing a Modular Concept for Exchanging Character Animation Approaches 

      Gaisbauer, Felix; Agethen, Philipp; Bär, Thomas; Rukzio, Enrico (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Nowadays, motion synthesis and character animation systems are used in different domains ranging from gaming to medicine and production industries. In recent years, there has been a vast progress in terms of realistic ...

    • Towards Self-Perception in Augmented Virtuality: Hand Segmentation with Fully Convolutional Networks 

      Gonzalez-Sosa, Ester; Perez, Pablo; Kachach, Redouane; Ruiz, Jaime Jesus; Villegas, Alvaro (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      In this work, we propose the use of deep learning techniques to segment items of interest from the local region to increase self-presence in Virtual Reality (VR) scenarios. Our goal is to segment hand images from the ...

    • A Smart Palette for Helping Novice Painters to Mix Physical Watercolor Pigments 

      Chen, Mei-Yun; Yang, Ci-Syuan; Ouhyoung, Ming (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      For novice painters, color mixing is a necessary skill which takes many years to learn. To get the skill easily, we design a system, a smart palette, to help them learn quickly. Our system is based on physical watercolor ...
