• Explicit Mesh Surfaces for Particle Based Fluids 

  Yu, Jihun; Wojtan, Chris; Turk, Greg; Yap, Chee (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

  We introduce the idea of using an explicit triangle mesh to track the air/fluid interface in a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulator. Once an initial surface mesh is created, this mesh is carried forward in time ...

  Martin, Tobias; Chen, Guoning; Musuvathy, Suraj; Cohen, Elaine; Hansen, Charles (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

  We introduce a novel mid-structure called the generalized swept mid-structure (GSM) of a closed polygonal shape, and a framework to compute it. The GSM contains both curve and surface elements and has consistent sheet-by-sheet ...

• Medial Kernels 

  Berger, Matthew; Silva, Claudio T. (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

  We introduce the medial kernel, an association measure which provides for a robust construction of volume-aware distances defined directly on point clouds. The medial kernel is a similarity measure defined as the likelihood ...

• A Simple Algorithm for Maximal Poisson-Disk Sampling in High Dimensions 

  Ebeida, Mohamed S.; Mitchell, Scott A.; Patney, Anjul; Davidson, Andrew A.; Owens, John D. (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

  We provide a simple algorithm and data structures for d-dimensional unbiased maximal Poisson-disk sampling. We use an order of magnitude less memory and time than the alternatives. Our results become more favorable as the ...

• Fast Grasp Synthesis for Various Shaped Objects 

  Kyota, Fumihito; Saito, Suguru (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

  Human-like grasp planning is difficult because a human hand has a high number of degrees of freedom, and there are many grasping styles depending on the shape of an object and purpose. We propose a fast grasp synthesis ...

• Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation of Line Segments and Graphs 

  Lu, Lin; Lévy, Bruno; Wang, Wenping (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

  Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) of points has many applications in geometry processing, including remeshing and segmentation, to name but a few. In this paper, we generalize the CVT concept to graphs via a variational ...

• Automatically Rigging Multi-component Characters 

  Bharaj, Gaurav; Thormählen, Thorsten; Seidel, Hans-Peter; Theobalt, Christian (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

  Rigging an arbitrary 3D character by creating an animation skeleton is a time-consuming process even for experienced animators. In this paper, we present an algorithm that automatically creates animation rigs for multicomponent ...

• Interaction Retrieval by Spacetime Proximity Graphs 

  Tang, Jeff K. T.; Chan, Jacky C. P.; Leung, Howard; Komura, Taku (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

  In this paper, we propose a new method to index and retrieve animation scenes in which multiple characters closely interact with one another. Such a technique can be an important tool for animators when they want to ...

• A Continuous, Editable Representation for Deforming Mesh Sequences with Separate Signals for Time, Pose and Shape 

  Cashman, Thomas J.; Hormann, Kai (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

  It is increasingly popular to represent non-rigid motion using a deforming mesh sequence: a discrete sequence of frames, each of which is given as a mesh with a common graph structure. Such sequences have the flexibility ...

• Real-time Rendering of Dynamic Scenes under All-frequency Lighting using Integral Spherical Gaussian 

  Iwasaki, Kei; Furuya, Wataru; Dobashi, Yoshinori; Nishita, Tomoyuki (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

  We propose an efficient rendering method for dynamic scenes under all-frequency environmental lighting. To render the surfaces of objects illuminated by distant environmental lighting, the triple product of the lighting, ...

• Stochastic Progressive Photon Mapping for Dynamic Scenes 

  Weiss, Maayan; Grosch, Thorsten (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

  Stochastic Progressive Photon Mapping (SPPM) is a method to simulate consistent global illumination. It is especially useful for complicated light paths like caustics seen through a glass surface. Up to now, SPPM can only ...

• Selective Inspection and Interactive Visualization of Light Transport in Virtual Scenes 

  Reiner, Tim; Kaplanyan, Anton; Reinhard, Marcel; Dachsbacher, Carsten (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

  This paper presents novel interactive visualization techniques for inspecting the global light transport in virtual scenes. First, we propose a simple extension to photon mapping to gather required lighting information. ...

• Procedural Interpolation of Historical City Maps 

  Krecklau, Lars; Manthei, Christopher; Kobbelt, Leif (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

• Importance Caching for Complex Illumination 

  Georgiev, Iliyan; Krivánek, Jaroslav; Popov, Stefan; Slusallek, Philipp (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2012)

  Realistic rendering requires computing the global illumination in the scene, and Monte Carlo integration is the best-known method for doing that. The key to good performance is to carefully select the costly integration ...
