The Laplace Beltrami operator is one of the essential tools in geometric processing. It allows us to solve numerous partial differential equations on discrete surface meshes, which is a fundamental building block in many ...

Procedural models (i.e. symbolic programs that output visual data) are a historically-popular method for representing graphics content: vegetation, buildings, textures, etc. They offer many advantages: interpretable design ...

We analyze the joint efforts made by the geometry processing and the numerical analysis communities in the last decades to define and measure the concept of ''mesh quality''. Researchers have been striving to determine ...

The rapid growth of the visual effects industry over the past three decades and increasing demand for high quality visual effects for film, television and similar media, in turn increasing demand for graduates in this field ...

In this paper, we present a playful and game-based learning approach to teaching transformations in a second-year undergraduate computer graphics course. While the theoretical concepts were taught in class, the exercise ...

We present the Elements project, a lightweight, open-source, computational science and computer graphics (CG) framework, tailored for educational needs, that offers, for the first time, the advantages of an Entity-Component-System ...

We investigate Hermite interpolation in the context of discrete signed distance field filtering. Our method uses tricubic Hermite interpolation to generate a C1 continuous approximation to the signed distance function of ...

We present a physically-based model to simulate droplet behaviours when impacted on a solid surface. Our model creates the coalescence, spreading, and break-up deformations that occur when a liquid droplet collides with a ...

AI is increasingly being used in public protection by using crowd anomaly detection. This is useful for identifying panic events enabling control forces to act faster. A significant challenge in this field is the lack of ...
