Signage systems play an essential role in ensuring safe, stress-free, and efficient navigation for the occupants of indoor spaces. Crowd simulations with sufficiently realistic virtual humans provide a convenient and ...

Gestural animations in the amusement or entertainment field often require rich expressions; however, it is still challenging to synthesize characteristic gestures automatically. Although style transfer based on a neural ...

Algorithms at the intersection of computer graphics and medicine have recently gained renewed attention. A particular interest are methods for virtual surgery planning (VSP), where treatment parameters must be carefully ...

Numerical coarsening methods offer an attractive methodology for fast simulation of objects with high-resolution heterogeneity. However, they rely heavily on preprocessing, and are not suitable when objects undergo dynamic ...

Real-time character animation in dynamic environments requires the generation of plausible upper-body movements regardless of the nature of the environment, including non-rigid obstacles such as vegetation. We propose a ...

Synthesizing multi-character interactions is a challenging task due to the complex and varied interactions between the characters. In particular, precise spatiotemporal alignment between characters is required in generating ...

The accuracy of hand tracking algorithms depends on how closely the geometry of the mesh model resembles the user's hand shape. Most existing methods rely on a learned shape space model; however, this fails to generalize ...

Multi-person novel view synthesis aims to generate free-viewpoint videos for dynamic scenes of multiple persons. However, current methods require numerous views to reconstruct a dynamic person and only achieve good performance ...

Clothing plays a fundamental role in digital humans. Current approaches to animate 3D garments are mostly based on realistic physics simulation, however, they typically suffer from two main issues: high computational ...

Data-driven skeletal animation relies on the existence of a suitable learning scheme, which can capture the rich context of motion. However, commonly used motion representations often fail to accurately encode the full ...
