Visualizing and Interacting with Geospatial Networks: A Survey and Design Space
(© 2021 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021)This paper surveys visualization and interaction techniques for geospatial networks from a total of 95 papers. Geospatial networks are graphs where nodes and links can be associated with geographic locations. Examples can ... -
Write Like You: Synthesizing Your Cursive Online Chinese Handwriting via Metric-based Meta Learning
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021)In this paper, we propose a novel Sequence-to-Sequence model based on metric-based meta learning for the arbitrary style transfer of online Chinese handwritings. Unlike most existing methods that treat Chinese handwritings ... -
Restricted Power Diagrams on the GPU
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021)We propose a method to simultaneously decompose a 3D object into power diagram cells and to integrate given functions in each of the obtained simple regions.We offer a novel, highly parallel algorithm that lends itself to ... -
A Lagrangian Particle-based Formulation for Coupled Simulation of Fracture and Diffusion in Thin Membranes
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021)We propose a Lagrangian particle-based formulation for simulating deformation, fracture, and diffusion in thin membranelike structures, such as aluminium foil, rubbery films, and seaweed flakes. We integrate our model with ... -
Neural BRDF Representation and Importance Sampling
(© 2021 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021)Controlled capture of real‐world material appearance yields tabulated sets of highly realistic reflectance data. In practice, however, its high memory footprint requires compressing into a representation that can be used ... -
VEHICLE: Validation and Exploration of the Hierarchical Integration of Conflict Event Data
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021)The exploration of large-scale conflicts, as well as their causes and effects, is an important aspect of socio-political analysis. Since event data related to major conflicts are usually obtained from different sources, ... -
Neural Acceleration of Scattering-Aware Color 3D Printing
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021)With the wider availability of full-color 3D printers, color-accurate 3D-print preparation has received increased attention. A key challenge lies in the inherent translucency of commonly used print materials that blurs out ... -
Cooperative Profile Guided Optimizations
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021)Existing feedback-driven optimization frameworks are not suitable for video games, which tend to push the limits of performance of gaming platforms and have real-time constraints that preclude all but the simplest execution ... -
Functionality‐Driven Musculature Retargeting
(© 2021 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021)We present a novel retargeting algorithm that transfers the musculature of a reference anatomical model to new bodies with different sizes, body proportions, muscle capability, and joint range of motion while preserving ... -
Learning and Exploring Motor Skills with Spacetime Bounds
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021)Equipping characters with diverse motor skills is the current bottleneck of physics-based character animation. We propose a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) framework that enables physics-based characters to learn and ... -
Neural Sequence Transformation
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021)Monte Carlo integration is a technique for numerically estimating a definite integral by stochastically sampling its integrand. These samples can be averaged to make an improved estimate, and the progressive estimates form ... -
Half‐body Portrait Relighting with Overcomplete Lighting Representation
(© 2021 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021)We present a neural‐based model for relighting a half‐body portrait image by simply referring to another portrait image with the desired lighting condition. Rather than following classical inverse rendering methodology ... -
STALP: Style Transfer with Auxiliary Limited Pairing
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021)We present an approach to example-based stylization of images that uses a single pair of a source image and its stylized counterpart. We demonstrate how to train an image translation network that can perform real-time ... -
Consistent Post-Reconstruction for Progressive Photon Mapping
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021)Photon mapping is a light transport algorithm that simulates various rendering effects (e.g., caustics) robustly, and its progressive variants, progressive photon mapping (PPM) methods, can produce a biased but consistent ... -
Geodesic Distance Computation via Virtual Source Propagation
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021)We present a highly practical, efficient, and versatile approach for computing approximate geodesic distances. The method is designed to operate on triangle meshes and a set of point sources on the surface. We also show ... -
Fast Ray Tracing of Scale‐Invariant Integral Surfaces
(© 2021 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021)Scale‐invariant integral surfaces, which are implicit representations of surfaces, provide a way to define smooth surfaces from skeletons with prescribed radii defined at their vertices. We introduce a new rendering pipeline ... -
Temporally Dense Exploration of Moving and Deforming Shapes
(© 2021 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021)We present our approach for the dense visualization and temporal exploration of moving and deforming shapes from scientific experiments and simulations. Our image space representation is created by convolving a noise texture ... -
