Accelerating Sphere Tracing
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)This paper presents two performance improvements on sphere tracing. First, a sphere tracing variant designed to take optimal step sizes near planar surfaces is proposed. We demonstrate how relaxation is used to make this ... -
Accurate Control of a Pan-tilt System Based on Parameterization of Rotational Motion
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)A pan-tilt camera system has been adopted by a variety of fields since it can cover a wide range of region compared to a single fixated camera setup. Yet many studies rely on factory-assembled and calibrated platforms and ... -
A Comparison of GPU Tessellation Strategies for Multisided Patches
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)We propose an augmentation of the traditional tessellation pipeline with several different strategies that efficiently render multisided patches using generalised barycentric coordinates. The strategies involve different ... -
Expressive Curve Editing with the Sigma Lognormal Model
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)We describe a practical application of the Sigma Lognormal model of handwriting movements for computer graphics applications that require the interactive or procedural definition of artistic or calligraphic traces. The ... -
Halftone Pattern: A New Steganographic Approach
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)In general, an image is worth a thousand words, but sometimes, words are the most efficient tool to communicate some information. Thereupon, in this work, we will present an approach for combining the visual appeal of ... -
Iterative Carving for Self-supporting 3D Printed Cavities
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Additive manufacturing technologies fabricate objects layer by layer, adding material on top of already solidified layers. A key challenge is to ensure that there is always material below, for otherwise added material ... -
Kinder-Gator: The UF Kinect Database of Child and Adult Motion
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Research has suggested that children's whole-body motions are different from those of adults. However, research on children's motions, and how these motions differ from those of adults, is limited. One possible reason for ... -
A Preliminary Investigation into the Impact of Training for Example-Based Facial Blendshape Creation
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Our work is a perceptual study into the effects of training poses on the Example-Based Facial Rigging (EBFR) method. We analyse the output of EBFR given a set of training poses to see how well the results reproduced our ... -
Raw Point Cloud Deferred Shading Through Screen Space Pyramidal Operators
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)We present a novel real-time raw point cloud rendering algorithm based on efficient screen-space pyramidal operators. Our method is based on a pyramidal occlusion-based hidden point removal operator followed by a pyramidal ... -
Reduction of CPU-GPU Synchronization Overhead for Accelerating Implicit Clothing Simulator
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)When trying to make the conjugate gradient (CG) method exploit GPU technology, this paper notes that the communication between CPU and GPU to transfer the residual value and waiting for the CPU's decision whether to continue ... -
Rigid Body Joints in Real-Time Unified Particle Physics
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)In this paper, we propose a physically-based method for a rigid body joint simulation. The proposed solution is based on the unified particle physics engine, a simulator that uses only particles for all the dynamic bodies. ... -
Smooth Blended Subdivision Shading
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)The concept known as subdivision shading aims at improving the shading of subdivision surfaces. It is based on the subdivision of normal vectors associated with the control net of the surface. By either using the resulting ... -
Time-Reversed Art Directable Smoke Simulation
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Physics-based fluid simulation often produces unpredictable behavior that is difficult for artists to control. We present a new method for art directing smoke animation using time-reversed simulation. Given a final fluid ...
