Procedural modeling enables building complex geometric objects and scenes in a wide panel of applications. The traditional approach relies on the sequential application of a reduced set of construction rules. We offer to ...

The generation of realistic natural scenarios is a longstanding and ongoing challenge in Computer Graphics. A common source of real-environmental scenarios is open point cloud datasets acquired by LiDAR (Laser Imaging ...

We propose a two-stage hybrid method, with no initialization, for 3D human shape and pose estimation from a single depth image, combining the benefits of deep learning and optimization. First, a convolutional neural network ...

We present an algorithm to hide discontinuity artifacts at seams in GPU compressed textures. Texture mapping requires UV-maps, and UV-maps (in general) require texture seams; texture seams (in general) cause small visual ...

Creating a 2D animation with visible strokes is a tedious and time consuming task for an artist. Computer aided animation usually focus on cartoon stylized rendering, or is built from an automatic process as 3D animations ...

Autonomous Vehicles became every day closer to becoming a reality in ground transportation. Computational advancement has enabled powerful methods to process large amounts of data required to drive on streets safely. The ...

Today virtual reality technologies is becoming more and more widespread and has found strong applications in various domains. However, the fear to experience motion sickness is still an important barrier for VR users. ...

Learning a 3D representation of a scene has been a challenging problem for decades in computer vision. Recent advancements in implicit neural representation from images using neural radiance fields(NeRF) have shown promising ...

Heightmaps are ubiquitous in real-time computer graphics. They are used to describe geometric detail over an underlying coarser surface. Various techniques, such as parallax occlusion mapping and relief mapping, use heightmap ...

We introduce a new method to compute the shape of an unstructured set of two-dimensional points. The algorithm exploits the to-date rarely used proximity-based graph called spheres-of-influence graph (SIG). We filter edges ...
