    • An Analytical Solution to Single Scattering in Homogeneous Participating Media 

      Pegoraro, Vincent; Parker, Steven G. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
      Despite their numerous applications, efficiently rendering participating media remains a challenging task due to the intricacy of the radiative transport equation. As they provide a generic means of solving a wide variety ...
    • Animating Pictures of Fluid using Video Examples 

      Okabe, Makoto; Anjyo, Ken; Igarashi, Takeo; Seidel, Hans-Peter (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
      We propose a system that allows the user to design a continuous flow animation starting from a still fluid image. The basic idea is to apply the fluid motion extracted from a video example to the target image. The system ...
    • Anisotropic Radiance-Cache Splatting for Efficiently Computing High-Quality Global Illumination with Lightcuts 

      Herzog, Robert; Myszkowski, Karol; Seidel, Hans-Peter (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
      Computing global illumination in complex scenes is even with todays computational power a demanding task. In this work we propose a novel irradiance caching scheme that combines the advantages of two state-of-the-art ...
    • Applet Competition as an Educational Tool in Creating Novel e-Textbook 

      Czanner, Silvester; Ferko, Andrej; Stugel, Juraj; Nunukova, Pavla (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      We introduce a long-term competition-oriented project, using learning by doing (applets). The output of this project is updated every year at http://www.netgraphics.sk/. Many undergraduate students at the University of ...
    • Applications of Multitouch and Gaming Technology for the Classroom 

      Muto, William; Dobies, Justin; Diefenbach, Paul (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Multi-point touch screens have enjoyed recent popularity due to their natural tendency to create highly intuitive and user-friendly systems for even the novice user. We believe that multitouch is well-suited for educational ...
    • Arches: a Framework for Modeling Complex Terrains 

      Peytavie, A.; Galin, E.; Grosjean, J.; Merillou, S. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
      In this paper, we present a framework for representing complex terrains with such features as overhangs, arches and caves and including different materials such as sand and rocks. Our hybrid model combines a volumetric ...
    • Bidirectional Importance Sampling for Unstructured Direct Illumination 

      Wang, Rui; Akerlund, Oskar (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
      Recent research in bidirectional importance sampling has focused primarily on structured illumination sources such as distant environment maps, while unstructured illumination has received little attention. In this paper, ...
    • Bilateral Filter Based Compositing for Variable Exposure Photography 

      Raman, Shanmuganathan; Chaudhuri, Subhasis (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Compositing a scene from multiple images is of considerable interest to graphics professionals. Typical compositing techniques involve estimation or explicit preparation of matte by an artist. In this article, we address ...
    • Character Motion Synthesis by Topology Coordinates 

      Ho, Edmond S.L.; Komura, Taku (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
      In this paper, we propose a new method to efficiently synthesize character motions that involve close contacts such as wearing a T-shirt, passing the arms through the strings of a knapsack, or piggy-back carrying an injured ...
    • Color correction for tone mapping 

      Mantiuk, R.; Mantiuk, R.; Tomaszewska, A.; Heidrich, W. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
      Tone mapping algorithms offer sophisticated methods for mapping a real-world luminance range to the luminance range of the output medium but they often cause changes in color appearance. In this work we conduct a series ...
