This paper presents a new approach to classify, index and retrieve technical drawings by content. Our work uses spatial relationships, visual elements and high-dimensional indexing mechanisms to retrieve complex drawings ...

We present a general computational architecture that solves the problem of the production of physical-based virtual textiles and garments (so called electronic garments or e-garments), applicable in lnternet-based ...

Virtual reality enables to build systems that enhance communication by facilitating information display. ln teleoperation applications, virtual reality improves task performance thanks to intuitive manipulation and exploration ...

Visibility determination is a requirement to navigate through complex scenes. Occluder fusion algorithms generate convex occluders that are contained in the umbra cast by a group of objects given an area light. Hoops are ...

Real 3D data acquired from scanning technology provide interesting 3D models for research and industrial applications. However before these models can be used, a surface needs to be jitted to a point cloud of an unknown ...

We present a software-based method for alignment of projectors, both for side-by-side (mosaic) and stereo projections. The projectors are assumed to be positioned in such a way that their axes are not perpendicular to the ...

This paper describes a novel approach to implement multimedia access platforms: reconfigurable oriented codesign. Nowadays we observe a rapid and mutant evolution of multimedia standards and its de facto adoption into many ...

ln spite of recent advances in Computer Aided Design, Graphical User Interfaces (GUJ) are, by and large, still at the stage of the so-called WIMP (Window, Icon, Menu, Pointing device) approach. ln recent years, our research ...

MIXDesign, provides a tangible Mixed-Reality system oriented towards tasks in Architectural Design, in severa! usage scenarios, such as Conceptual Design, Client Brief or even Architectural Design education. With MIXDesign, ...

Multiprojection lmmersive Environments are used in many fields such as science, engineering and art. Virtual Reality (VR) oriented systems have been powered traditionally by high-end graphics workstations or supercomputers ...
