Poisson Surface Reconstruction with Envelope Constraints
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)Reconstructing surfaces from scanned 3D points has been an important research area for several decades. One common approach that has proven efficient and robust to noise is implicit surface reconstruction, i.e. fitting to ... -
Learning Part Boundaries from 3D Point Clouds
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)We present a method that detects boundaries of parts in 3D shapes represented as point clouds. Our method is based on a graph convolutional network architecture that outputs a probability for a point to lie in an area that ... -
Cost Minimizing Local Anisotropic Quad Mesh Refinement
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)Quad meshes as a surface representation have many conceptual advantages over triangle meshes. Their edges can naturally be aligned to principal curvatures of the underlying surface and they have the flexibility to create ... -
Integer-Grid Sketch Simplification and Vectorization
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)A major challenge in line drawing vectorization is segmenting the input bitmap into separate curves. This segmentation is especially problematic for rough sketches, where curves are depicted using multiple overdrawn strokes. ... -
Hexahedral Mesh Repair via Sum-of-Squares Relaxation
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)The validity of trilinear hexahedral (hex) mesh elements is a prerequisite for many applications of hex meshes, such as finite element analysis. A commonly used check for hex mesh validity evaluates mesh quality on the ... -
Nonlinear Deformation Synthesis via Sparse Principal Geodesic Analysis
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)This paper introduces the construction of a low-dimensional nonlinear space capturing the variability of a non-rigid shape from a data set of example poses. The core of the approach is a Sparse Principal Geodesic Analysis ... -
A Parametric Analysis of Discrete Hamiltonian Functional Maps
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)In this paper we develop an in-depth theoretical investigation of the discrete Hamiltonian eigenbasis, which remains quite unexplored in the geometry processing community. This choice is supported by the fact that Dirichlet ... -
Interactive Sculpting of Digital Faces Using an Anatomical Modeling Paradigm
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)Digitally sculpting 3D human faces is a very challenging task. It typically requires either 1) highly-skilled artists using complex software packages for high quality results, or 2) highly-constrained simple interfaces for ... -
A Simple Discretization of the Vector Dirichlet Energy
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)We present a simple and concise discretization of the covariant derivative vector Dirichlet energy for triangle meshes in 3D using Crouzeix-Raviart finite elements. The discretization is based on linear discontinuous ... -
A Laplacian for Nonmanifold Triangle Meshes
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)We describe a discrete Laplacian suitable for any triangle mesh, including those that are nonmanifold or nonorientable (with or without boundary). Our Laplacian is a robust drop-in replacement for the usual cotan matrix, ... -
Properties of Laplace Operators for Tetrahedral Meshes
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)Discrete Laplacians for triangle meshes are a fundamental tool in geometry processing. The so-called cotan Laplacian is widely used since it preserves several important properties of its smooth counterpart. It can be derived ... -
Interpolated Corrected Curvature Measures for Polygonal Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)A consistent and yet practically accurate definition of curvature onto polyhedral meshes remains an open problem. We propose a new framework to define curvature measures, based on the Corrected Normal Current, which ... -
Approximating Isosurfaces by Guaranteed-quality Triangular Meshes
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)We describe a new method for approximating an implicit surface F by a piecewise-flat triangulated surface whose triangles are as close as possible to equilateral. The main advantage is improved mesh quality which is ... -
Fabricable Unobtrusive 3D-QR-Codes with Directional Light
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)QR code is a 2D matrix barcode widely used for product tracking, identification, document management and general marketing. Recently, there have been various attempts to utilize QR codes in 3D manufacturing by carving QR ... -
Medial Axis Isoperimetric Profiles
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)Recently proposed as a stable means of evaluating geometric compactness, the isoperimetric profile of a planar domain measures the minimum perimeter needed to inscribe a shape with prescribed area varying from 0 to the ... -

High-Resolution Neural Face Swapping for Visual Effects
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)In this paper, we propose an algorithm for fully automatic neural face swapping in images and videos. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first method capable of rendering photo-realistic and temporally coherent ... -
Semi-Procedural Textures Using Point Process Texture Basis Functions
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)We introduce a novel semi-procedural approach that avoids drawbacks of procedural textures and leverages advantages of datadriven texture synthesis. We split synthesis in two parts: 1) structure synthesis, based on a ... -
Practical Product Sampling by Fitting and Composing Warps
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)We introduce a Monte Carlo importance sampling method for integrands composed of products and show its application to rendering where direct sampling of the product is often difficult. Our method is based on warp functions ... -
A Comprehensive Theory and Variational Framework for Anti-aliasing Sampling Patterns
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)In this paper, we provide a comprehensive theory of anti-aliasing sampling patterns that explains and revises known results, and introduce a variational optimization framework to generate point patterns with any desired ...
